Areas of Focus

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is redefining land-use by restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and sequestering carbon. Acre places leaders who combine traditional farming knowledge with scientific rigour, data fluency, and systems thinking.

Agritech & Precision Farming

The rise of agritech is transforming how food is grown and monitored. We work with early-stage startups and global agribusinesses to recruit product innovators, data scientists, engineering leaders, and commercial strategists.

Food Tech & Alternative Proteins

The shift toward alternative proteins, fermentation technologies, and cultivated meat has triggered high demand for technical specialists in R&D, life cycle analysis (LCA), and go-to-market strategy.

Climate-Smart Agriculture

Organisations are investing in climate-smart agriculture - integrating nature-based solutions, risk modelling, and resilience planning. We place professionals in roles spanning climate strategy, adaptation, and impact measurement.

Nature, Land Use & Biodiversity

From reforestation to sustainable grazing, land use is at the heart of nature-positive strategy. We support organisations hiring across biodiversity, TNFD reporting, natural capital, and landscape restoration.

Investment in Sustainable Agriculture

Private equity, venture capital and climate funds are increasingly directing capital into sustainable agriculture, from soil carbon marketplaces to vertical farming platforms. We work with investors and portfolio companies to recruit analysts, and investment leaders.
