Arable was founded in 2016 to bring investors opportunities in the food and agribusiness sector.

Historically, food and agribusiness has been an underrepresented investment sector – investors have struggled to match their investment parameters with the unique challenges these businesses face, especially complexities related to generational transfer and vertical integration. Pairing its deep roots in both agriculture and investing and a long-term investment approach, Arable bridges this gap.
