26 Feb 2020 --- The agri-food tech space has heated up significantly over the last year, raking in 250 percent in funding growth over the last five years. This is among the highlights presented by the 2019 Agri-FoodTech Investing Report, issued by Silicon Valley venture capital platform AgFunder. The report flags a series of “ups and downs” for the sector in 2019, with funding levels dropping slightly from 2018, albeit with “various bright spots.” Meanwhile, the firm highlights that European tech funding nearly doubled last year, as Latin America emerged with “breakout” success.
