the Opportunity

Feeding people well and sustainably is, and will be, a growing global challenge. Population is rising, lands for agriculture are diminishing, Climate Change is having a major effect on the industry, and consumers are more focused on health, sustainability, transparency and animal welfare.
We are at a tipping point of the next Ag-Revolution.

Sadot Innovation was created by people with a passion for transformative solutions that address these global challenges by leveraging Israel’s unique agricultural legacy, entrepreneurial spirit and technological aptitude in biotech and digital.
