Healthier Starts From the Ground UP

Healthy soil yields more abundant and nutritious food, and along with water and sunlight, is integral to life on this planet. However, decades of legacy practices on farmland, reliance on a few core crops, overuse of synthetic inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc., and a general lack of insightful data on the actual condition and composition of the soil, has caused significant and widespread degradation in soil health.

The Nature Conservancy estimates* the annual societal and environmental costs of the status quo are up to $85.1 billion annually through unintended effects on human health, property, energy, endangered species, loss of biodiversity, eutrophication, contamination, agricultural productivity, and resilience.

iSelect actively seeks and invests in companies that address many of the abovementioned issues. It is one of our core theses, and we are proud to have created an investment platform that enables us to pursue traditional venture returns while seeking to improve the health of our soil and planet.
