Where did the rest go?Of the $2.2 billion dollars invested upstream - in the supply chain and on the farm - Novel Farming Systems received the most amount of investment with nearly $1 billion. After that was Innovative Food with $600 million of investment and then Ag Biotech with $400 million.Aside from eGrocery, Cloud Retail Infrastructure startups raised just under $1 billion to support the at-home dining trend.As an addendum to this report this year, we partnered with Invest-NL to look at how much of the year's funding went to climate-related startups: just 27% went to climate-impacting ventures mostly in Novel Farming Systems and Innovative Foods.
