Pebble brings together all the elements needed to finance early-stage companies
in the plant and microbial sector creating a safer, healthier,
sustainable and more profitable world.
Plants are the primary source of all food eaten on the planet
Increasing crop yield while reducing area of land, volumes of water and chemical input improves our agricultural footprint
Plant-based foods can reduce resource intensive livestock production
Developing crops resistant to pests and diseases improves our food supply Innovative farming methods can reduce waste and improve soil structure
Innovative farming methods can reduce waste and improve soil structure
Plants and microbes influence human health in a way medicine cannot
Plants and microbes can transform dietary quality and reduce the burden on healthcare
Necessary dietary changes mean we will need to grow different food crops
Plants and microbes are a largely unmined source of a multitude of health-giving ingredients and pharmaceutical chemistries
Plants and microbes supply Earth’s energy, store its carbon and generate the oxygen we breathe
Reducing fossil-based fertilisers and improving nutrient uptake improves soil condition and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Increasing carbon sequestration by 9% through plants could sequester all the carbon emitted by humans since 1800
Plants produce over 98% of the oxygen we breathe, clean polluted air and prevent soil erosion
