Abstract

Radical transformation of the food system is required to ensure the health of people and the planet. The implementation of policy change to improve food and nutritional security has been slow. Injection of private and public investment to stimulate innovation in complex agri-food value chains to fast-track sustainable solutions is needed. Multi-stakeholder transdisciplinary partnerships facilitate co-creation of solutions that deliver rapid transformational change to food systems. A venture science model which brings together a research organisation, industry and venture capital, to facilitate rapid innovation is discussed. This model replaces pitches to investors and narrowly-focussed industry relationships, with a collaborative opportunity-directed construction process. A case study of innovation in the alternative meat sector is provided.
