Amid rising adverse weather events and a rapidly growing global population, food security has shot to the top of the policy agenda, with renewed emphasis on more sustainable food production and consumption.
In the second of this series, Ulrik Fugmann and Edward Lees, co-heads of our Environmental Strategies Group, talk to Andrey Zarur, CEO and co-founder of GreenLight Biosciences, about how his company is using RNA technology to solve the most pressing environmental issue affecting food security and the positive secondary effects this could have on biodiversity and climate change.
Also, watch part 1 of their discussion, The uncapped impact series: agritech for food security (part I), or listen to the podcast, The uncapped impact series with GreenLight Biosciences.
The uncapped impact series brings you up close and personal with our Environmental Strategies Group and businesses that, regardless of their size, are making a big impact.

Past performance is no guarantee for future returns. Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk.
