Investing into ag-tech innovations and farmland with agronomist Baptiste Tellier | The Stream with Will and Tom
Description
In the latest episode of the season, we were delighted to be joined by Baptiste Tellier, the managing director of Fall Line Capital who is focused on farm management, data analysis and deal sourcing.
As a trained agronomist, Baptiste previously he oversaw the development and implementation of sustainable farming practices for over 200 potato farmers at Nestle. Before this, he was the former farm operations intern at The Mitchell Farm, conducting agronomic studies on corn yield.
As he currently manages both farmland and venture activities, he provides a super interesting perspective, with Fall Line essentially building out its own ecosystem – investing into the innovations and with the farmland to help deploy and scale those innovations.
Baptiste disagrees with the stereotype that farmers are slow to adopt innovations, instead shifting the focus onto the solutions that aren’t perhaps the right fit for the market.
As well as discussing previous investments, including into Lumo, he also talks about what excites him about the market – for example, robotic automation in agriculture.
