Spencer Maughan of Finistere Ventures joins Nick to discuss How the Generational Shift Is Affecting Food, Investing in Vertical Farming and in New Biologics, and Platform Solutions to Food Dilemmas. In this episode, we cover: Walk us through your background and path to VC What's the thesis at Finistere Ventures? Focus? Check Size? Talk a bit about your global footprint, and why that is of value to the firm or the founders? What makes Finistere unique? What do you see as some of the biggest drivers of change in the food value chain? Are consumers going to embrace alternative produced meats when they are ready for market? With classically long timelines, they're expensive (producing a cost-effective product) and production is difficult. How do you think about that when you're underwriting the risk on an investment? What do you think of insect-based protein as a primary protein source and nourishment source in developed countries? What are the food-related effects from the pandemic that are ephemeral versus, you know, what do you think are here to stay? Previously, you mentioned a few areas of vertical farming, new pesticides in FinTech within ag-tech that were of interest. So which of those remain sort of strong categories as you see it today? Any other aspects within the ag-tech sort of lens and frame that you guys are investing forward in? You've also spoken about sort of a shift from point solutions in ag-tech to more platform, can you describe what you're observing here, and where you see the shifts occurring? Lobbies wield incredible power in the Food and Ag space. Is that a challenge that must be managed? For you guys, as a firm focused on investing in very disruptive tech in this space? What do you need to get better at?

Ingrid Fung, Investment Director at Finistere Ventures, talks diversity in agriculture, consumer-driven Ag Tech, pharmaceutical inspiration in the Ag Tech space, and what she is most excited about moving forward with sustainable ag.

In 2017, Finistere Ventures, a Californian-based firm, partnered with Ireland’s sovereign development fund (ISIF) to launch a €20m Ireland Agtech Fund (IAF), investing in emerging AgTech startups, to help stimulate growth and offer value across the Irish Agriculture and Food sectors. The Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) also allocated a further €20m in Finistere’s second global agtech fund for global agri investment. Kieran Furlong, venture partner with Finistere Ventures provides an update on this exciting and innovative development.

Segment 1- Mindie   Welcome to Episode 17 of the Thin Places Travel Podcast. This episode features Brittany France – an area with one of the largest collections of pre-Christian monuments in Europe. And these monuments are the run of the mill dolmens or passage tombs. The monuments in Brittany, in many instances, predate those in Ireland and the UK. Many believe the people who created the first of the monuments in Ireland and the UK came from Brittany. It was the Breton culture that established this pattern of erecting these ancient monuments. We are so lucky to have the Brittany expert, Wendy Mewes on the podcast today. If you search the internet for guides in Brittany or books written on the ancient Breton landscape, you will find Wendy’s name and her website…. Wendymewes.com She is a prolific writer and lecturer. On her website, she has a quote that reads, “My personal identity lies in the landscape.” Her books and writing speak to the concept that the landscape is alive and that there is an inherent “sense of place” unique to the Breton landscape. Wendy lives in Finistere – with its deep forests, sweeping shorelines and ancient stones – an amazing place for walking.  Wendy has a background in ancient history, she is the author of numerous books about Brittany, and her articles have appeared widely in the press. In France, she has been filmed for TV and contributed to radio broadcasts on historical subjects. She has worked extensively in promoting Breton history and culture to English-speaking visitors through talks, courses, and guided visits. Wendy now concentrates on landscape writing, most recently with Spirit of Place in Finistere (2017). She is currently working on two new books: one about the Breton saints and the other on walking ancient paths in the region. Now … on to our interview with Wendy.       segment 2 – interview with wendy mewes   What is it about BRITTANY that is most compelling?   Brittany has a very beautiful and unspoilt landscape, full of hidden sites beyond linear time where eternal elementals still share their presence. It also triumphs in economies of scale with a wide variety of natural surroundings – secret river valleys, open moorland, deep forest, wild coast – within a relatively short distance. Many point to the power of granite, a stone forged from fire, for the strong atmosphere – it seems to affect people both well and badly! There is nothing excessive here: the scale of Brittany is so in tune with human scale that one can perfectly identify with the environment.   What is the background - history of the site or topic?   Brittany was well-populated in the Neolithic period and has the greatest density of megaliths in Europe, with standing-stones and burial chambers widespread. These sacred places continued to be revered by succeeding Bronze and Iron Age inhabitants. The arrival of Celtic Christianity with evangelists from Great Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire saw many of these sites taken over and Christianised in the rivalry between Nature and God.    Are there any legends or mythology tied to the site or topic?   Brittany is the home of a vast treasury of legend, especially in the Celtic oral tradition. The megaliths in particular have their own stories of origin (usually involving giants or fairies), and there are hundreds of varieties of little people active in the landscape, as well as countless tales of the Breton saints with all their miracles and triumphs. One of the striking themes of oral culture here is the ubiquitous presence of Death (personified by Ankou, the Grim reaper). Do you think those stories have a deeper meaning?   Stories inevitably spring from humans’ interest in themselves and our need for explanation and ‘certainty’. Many legends are self-referential and self-reverential. Often they resign us to our lack of control over life and death, making chaos less frightening. Here in Brittany they often reflect the early foundations of society as well as universal experiences. We look for intermediaries and intercession. Is it possible to pull back the curtain of culture and see a deeper state of being beyond?  When you can reach out to landscape as a living thing rather than human being, magic can happen.     What surprises travellers about the site? …. something one wouldn’t expect?   Visitors to Brittany are often surprised by the continuing power of oral culture today and the manifest pride in local heritage at all levels of society. Native language and traditional costumes are distinctive. Sacred processions, pilgrimages and boundary-walking (based on legend) still tie people to the land, and memory is regarded as a vibrant tool to preserve the past and animate the future.     What are your thoughts on thin places or liminal places where the physical and spiritual worlds seem to cross?   For me personally these are usually places where the elements of earth (stone), air and water combine in a special harmony. Often it is necessary to get through the cultural filter to a purer state in order to feel oneself absolutely part of the natural world and truly alive.   What advice would you give to a traveler who is seeking out thin places or sites with spiritual energy?   The megaliths are a tangible target and for many people a conduit to spiritual energy, but don’t neglect places were there is no hand of man on display: the granite boulders in a wide forest, the changes on a tidal shore, the hill-tops on the heath…   Wendy’s Books: Spirit of Place in Finistere Britany: A Cultural History Discovering the History of Brittany Walking the Brittany Coast Legends of Brittany   FIND WENDY MEWES: www.wendymewes.com    www.wendymewes.blogspot.com    Twitter: @brittanyexpert wendymewes@orange.fr   SEGMENT 3 – Mindie on Brittany sites PARIS to MOUNT ST-MICHEL Go late – arrive at 4pm or there abouts.

So for those of you who are interested, I will be leading three group tours to thin places and one group tour for Mind, Body, Spirit Travel.  The first tour will be Scotland – The Western Isles.  May 10 – 21 (11 days 10 nights) Second tour will be the Mind, Body, Spirit Tour – a group tour to Newfoundland and Labrador.  Dates for that tour are  June 22 – July 1   We will tour the upper peninsula and the lower ridge of Labrador visiting 3 world heritage sites and some of the most awesome scenery in North America.   Third tour will be Discover the North in Ireland – September 8 to the 17th – Fourth tour will be immediately after that one – The Hags Journey – a tour of Western Ireland focusing on heroic Irish feminine figures – saints and goddesses.   I intend to post something on the website http://thinplacestour.com about this so people can make note of the dates.

Hi, da wir nun doch in den Urlaub starten konnten wird dieser Blobgeitrag etwas kürzer. Wir sind am Mittwoch gestartet und es ist natürlich noch nicht alles so rund laufend wie wenn wir mit dem Wohnwagen unterwegs wären. Deshalb die Infos zur Folge in Kurzform.   Auto Reparatur Das Auto ist wohl one weiteres reparabel. Wohl nur Blech und Plastik beschädigt. Es wurde ein vorläufiges Gutachten erstellt. Vorläufig da das Auto noch nicht auf der Hebebühne war und ggf. eventuelle weitere Schäden erst währen der Reparatur sichtbar werden könnten. Die Seite wird komplett rausgeschnitten und eine neue eingesetzt. Aber eben, das Auto muss noch auf die Hebebühne und dann werden Längsträge rund Verschraubungen angeschaut.   Start in den Urlaub Ja die Versicherung hat uns die Anmietung eines Wohnmobiles zugestanden und auch den Rechnungsbetrag noch am Freitag Nachmittag an den Verleiher überwiesen. Am Dienstag waren wir das Wohnmobil dann holen und haben es am mittag bepackt. Schliesslich muss da ja auch alles rein was vorher im Wohnwagen war. Eine ganz schöne Aktion war das. Am Mittwoch morgen sind wir dann, etwas verspätet, so gegen 09:00 Uhr losgefahren mit dem Ziel das Meer zu erreichen. Da eine direkte Fahrt in die "Finistere" dann doch zu weit war, sind wir kurzerhand nach rechts oben abgebogen und in der Bretagne gelandet. Und wie soll es anders sein. Wr haben natürlich direkt mit einem kostenlosen Stellplatz angefangen. Also kein Strom, kein Wasser nix. Einfach hinstellen und gut ist es. Wir sind am Mittwoch Abend angekommen und konnten direkt noch kurz runter ans Meer. Dann Abendessen und dann gib es ach schon bald in s Bett. Am nächsten Tag direkt nochmal runter zu Strand, mit den Kindern im Sand buddeln und ein bisschen im Meer laufen. Am Mittag dann Weiterfahrt in die Finistere.  Mein Handyakku war dann auch noch leer. Ach ja das einzigste Gerät mit der App Park4Night und somit der Möglichkeit nach einem Stellplatz zu suchen. Nach 1,5h Fahrt hatten wir dann bemerkt das es selbst am USB Anschluss des Autos nicht geladen wurde. Und da wurde der Drang der Verfügbarkeit nach Internet dann doch recht schnell recht gross. In Brest sind wir dann kurz in einen Orange Laden um eine Prepaid Karte für den mobilen Router zu bekommen. Und siehe da, auf einmal läd das USB Ding mein Handy doch. Stellplatz rausgesucht und dann letztlich auf dem dazugehörigen Campingplatz gelandet. Da wir hier festen Strom, ein Sanitärgebäude und die Möglichkeit zu duschen haben, haben wir das nun genutzt. Denken aber, das wir morgen auf den wesentlich günstigeren Stellplatz wechseln. Die Finistere hier ist der Hammer. Eine wirklich wunderschöne Gegend für welche man mindestens ein paar Monate Zeit bräuchte. Eigentlich wollten wir ja runter bis zum südlichen Atlantik, Sonne und Wellen satt.....aber naja schauen wir mal wie weit wir kommen. Schliesslich ruft auch der Caravan Salon. :-) Das Reisen mit dem Wohnmobil ist schon anders und stellt einen vor neue Herausforderungen. Aber für den zweiten Tag macht es Spass. Wir sind aber weiterhin gespannt wie es dann nach drei Wochen ist. Zumindest haben wir bereits festgestellt das es bei Regen dann doch sehr eng ist. Das Bad dürfe auch etwas grösser sein. Und eben da in einem Wohnmobil halt irgendwie alles untergebracht sein muss, steht man sich da drin dann doch mal schnell im Weg.   So das wars in der schnelle und kürze.   LG Dominic

By Lynda Kiernan In what is thought to be a first of its kind partnership, agtech and life sciences venture capital firm Finistere Ventures and institutional farmland owner and manager International Farming Corporation (IFC) have launched agtech equity growth fund Willow Hill Ventures.

Cadoc wishes to buy Gildas Bell, which Gildas is donating to the Holy Father Pope Agapetus in Rome (Vita mistakenly gives Alexander)The Pope blesses the bell, saying he knew Cadoc well as he had been to Rome seven times and to Jerusalem.The bell will not sound for him as it is full of gold, but the Holy Father asks for the bell to be given to Cadoc. Visits to Cornwall to see his aunt and the shrine to St Cadoc and his well at Harlyn Bay near Padstow. Cadoc and Ynys Barruc (The Island of St Barruc) which had belongd to his friend St Barruc of Ireland who had drowned. Cadoc's chapel and little town was at Cadocs Town. Another visit to Brittany wher he plants aple trees with St Samson to provide food for the local people and where he is regarded locally as Patron saint of the apples!This is transcribed into Llan gattock vibon afal-The Holy Place of St Cadoc and the apple men! Quite fun isn't it? Thirty seven places bear his name in Brittany and there are chapels at Belz and Locoal Mendon at Morbihan and Gouesnac'h in Finistere where  he is called upon to heal the deaf,  Death at Weedon in Northampton on the borders with what were now English lands. There were many such deaths and it is no wonder they disobeyed to pope and would not evangelise the English, forcing Augustine to send another missionary from Rome to convert the Saxons to Christianity from their Norse religion, realising there would be no peace in the universal church until the whole country was peacable. Two points-independent evidence in this account of Llifris of King Arthur at this time, bold and fearless but wilful and quick to anger. Arthur also appears in the account of Gwynlliw, having to be restrained by Cai and Bewyr from carrying off the lovely Gwladys. Another podcast next week!! Sorry about the quality of this one-my good microphone is still broken-but will persevere! God Bless!
