Oyster Bay<\/strong> invests along the entire food value chain \u2014 in tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies, products and busi\u00adness models that drive the trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion of the global food system. The food sector is >the worl\u00add\u2019s largest indus\u00adtry, accoun\u00adting for 10 percent of global econo\u00admic output, 40 percent of all jobs and USD 10 tril\u00adlion in sales. At the same time, less than eight percent of climate-rela\u00adted VC invest\u00adments world\u00adwide have so far gone into food and agri-tech.
