In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast we are following the money, looking ahead and asking where investors will be putting their cash in 2023. It is not necessarily a straightforward question, the world continues to be a complex place. We have had heatwaves and floods, inflation is causing economic turmoil all over the place, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is causing global turbulence as well as devastation for the people and the industry in that country. So what does this mean for investors? Is food and agri-tech still a good bet? If we had recorded this episode 12 months ago, alternative meat and ag-tech would be two of the big hits rising up the investment charts. But there are signs of a slow down in both these areas. So where are the sharp-eyed investors looking as 2023 approaches? And where is the smart money heading?
