Investing in the Continuum from
Agriculture to Health

The First Thirty (TFT) Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on transforming agriculture into the world’s most scalable health delivery system. We invest in companies building the future of farming, food and human wellness.

The Soil Foundation

The first 30 cm of soil is Earth’s most intelligent system — a living network of roots, mycelium, and microbes transforming sunlight and minerals into the foundation of all nutrition and resilience.

The Translation Layer

This is where biology becomes nourishment. Nutrient density, mineral balance, and microbiome diversity determine the quality of every bite — and the strength of every cell.

The Human Outcome

The same patterns that feed roots also sustain our bodies. Healthy soil creates strong immunity, sharper cognition, longer life, and the vitality that connects all living systems.

The Problem

Our global food system faces unprecedented challenges that directly impact human health and planetary sustainability. The current agricultural model is broken, creating a cascade of health and economic consequences.

Soil depletion has degraded 40% of arable land

Decades of extractive farming have depleted essential nutrients from our soil.

Volatile supply chains and rising input costs put pressure on producers

Food producers struggle with unreliable supply chains while farmers face growing uncertainty due to soil degradation, energy prices and logistics disruptions.

Poor food quality drives the chronic disease epidemic

Nutrient-depleted food contributes to trillions of annual healthcare spend on preventable conditions.

Demand for sustainable, nutritious food is outpacing supply

Rising consumer awareness outstrips capacity exposing the gap between what people want and what farms deliver.

The Solution

We are at a digital inflection point in biology and artificial intelligence, unlocking unprecedented opportunities for AgriHealth investments. These technologies allow us to measure, optimise and deliver nutritional value with accuracy that was unthinkable just years ago.

By addressing health at its source, we are driving the transition from reactive symptom management to preventative health optimisation.

This represents a platform-level disruption across the food-health continuum. We invest in companies that fundamentally reshape how we grow, distribute and consume food for optimal human and planetary health.

What we Do

AgriHealth captures data at the soil and crop level, converting it into actionable insights, validating improvements, and transmitting value through the supply chain for premium, quality-differentiated products.

Enhancing Nutrition

Improved soil health leads to nutrient-dense food which creates measurable positive health outcomes. Regenerative practices provide significant environmental and biodiversity benefits.

Preventing Toxicity

Collaboration with nature and precision agriculture can dramatically minimize toxic farm inputs and reduce harmful health consequences. Food safety can be measured and delivered real-time to consumers.

Our AgriHealth Investment Strategy

We are building a portfolio of early stage companies that measure and optimise biological quality to increase nutrients and reduce toxins in order to deliver health outcomes from soil to plate.

‍Our portfolio forms the infrastructure connecting farm-level measurement to consumer verification collectively forming the foundations of a new AgriHealth category.

We are looking for innovations that:

  • capture data at the soil, plant and animal level
  • convert it into actionable insights
  • implement and validate improvements
  • and transmit value through the supply chain.
