Tyson Foods’ venture capital arm is launching a new initiative to gather ideas from innovators and entrepreneurs to help the meat giant reach its sustainability goals and create a more transparent food system.
Tyson Ventures said it is looking for solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and food waste, and to address animal welfare, regenerative agriculture and soil health, water management and sustainable packaging.
