Creating opportunities for our portfolio companies and broader network across the agriculture and food chain has always been one of the core tenets of Conti’s evolution.   In the words of our CEO Paul Fribourg, “We look for every investment to lead to new opportunities, and that’s essentially connecting the dots. It’s a very simple concept, but few people do it because it involves building very long-term relationships with people and partners.”   To learn more about how Conti connects the dots, watch here: #ConnectingTheDots #TheContiWay #Opportunities #Relationships #Partners #Agriculture

Our last webinar and many phone calls to investors made one thing clear: people want to hear directly from our farmers. Here’s your chance. This coming Monday, May 27 at 12:30pm, we're holding a webinar that will feature a chat with our favourite farmers, Michi and Aidan (if he can carve out the time from farming) of Home Stand Produce. Michi and Aidan live the farm and food waste experience. We’ve worked with them for more than two years and they produce our delicious ginger and honey. Good & Fugly co-founder Jonathan Englert will lead a deep dive into their farming experience around food waste, the state of supermarket rejection and other farm challenges, and how Good & Fugly works as a solution both for their bottom lines and food waste.
