- “Food and agriculture is the number two driver of greenhouse gas emissions globally and uses about 70% of the world’s waters. It’s the number one driver of deforestation, land use change. It’s really at the center of a lot of these environmental issues,” Kass said.
- Kass also said: “Food and agriculture is the only real opportunity that we have to sequester enough carbon on the scale that science is telling us, within the time horizon that the science is saying we have, and that’s really unique to food and agriculture.”
- Kass is now a partner at Acre Venture Partners, a firm that says it invests in “companies creating fundamental change in food and agriculture in order to address large scale problems in human and environmental health.” In 2017, the World Economic Forum selected him as one of its Young Global Leaders.
