Wheatsheaf Group

Wheatsheaf Group is an international investor in food and agriculture businesses. Our purpose is to rethink and re-shape how food is grown, produced, distributed and consumed. We partner with like-minded people to understand the complex interconnectedness of our agricultural ecosystem to manage its effects and enhance human health, our environment... and enable producers to thrive.
