The Global Agri-Food Council (GAFC) was established to secure a platform whereby CVCs in this sector could come together to connect, explore innovation and investment opportunities, as well as dive deeper into the issues currently affecting agri-food investors and their portfolio companies.
The council meets quarterly and has the primary responsibility for creating meaningful outcomes for the broader agri-food sector. They set the tone and cadence of programming at select GCV events, as well as determine strategic goals to help strengthen the industry by providing opportunities for collaboration and deal flow with other industry sectors.
