NewSeed™ Advisors identifies, nurtures and invests in companies that make agriculture more sustainable. Sustainable agriculture has attractive economics, marketable innovations and talented professionals, but it needs mainstream support, sophisticated financial execution, and access to capital. NewSeed™ Advisors is committed to growing companies that improve food quality and take better care of the earth. The Fund seeks to capitalize on the need for a more sustainable food system.  By investing in an undercapitalized industry with an enormous potential market, the Fund seeks to achieve high potential returns while accelerating the adoption of environmentally and socially conscious practices in the agriculture and food industries.
