Agriventures member spotlight: The Good Club achieves a major milestone with its ESG impact reporting methodology

We are proud to celebrate an important achievement by our member The Good Club, which has successfully validated the methodology behind its ESG Impact Reporting through an independent assessment by Bureau Veritas.

This milestone marks an important step in transforming an innovative concept into a trusted solution that businesses can confidently adopt.

From Innovation to Market-Ready Solution

Building a new product requires more than a great idea. It takes continuous testing, validation, collaboration with early adopters to create a solution that delivers real value.

Following the successful validation of its methodology, The Good Club has now completed its first ESG Impact Report for a pilot company - demonstrating how employee benefit programmes can generate measurable environmental and social impact while supporting more sustainable purchasing decisions.

Supporting local producers through better employee benefits

The Good Club is rethinking employee benefits by connecting companies with carefully assessed local farmers and food producers.

Through its platform, employees gain access to high-quality, locally produced food, while businesses strengthen their sustainability performance and contribute to shorter, more resilient food supply chains.

By supporting responsible producers and encouraging local purchasing, the platform helps generate positive impacts for businesses, consumers, and the agri-food ecosystem alike.

At Agriventures, our mission is to help startups and innovative companies transform promising ideas into market-ready solutions that generate real impact across the agri-food sector.

We are proud to have supported The Good Club in reaching this important milestone and look forward to seeing its platform continue connecting businesses with local producers, strengthening short food supply chains, and making healthy, sustainably produced food more accessible.

Congratulations to the entire The Good Club team on this achievement—we wish you continued success as you scale your impact.

The role of Agriventures in supporting agrifood innovation

As the agritech startup ecosystem grows across Europe, initiatives such as Agriventures are helping connect entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and policymakers working in agriculture and food innovation.

Agriventures focuses on supporting agrifood startups, biotechnology innovation, and access to European funding for agriculture, while also helping entrepreneurs navigate the complex landscape of startup financing, venture capital, and research commercialization.

By strengthening connections between startups, research institutions, investors, and farmers, Agriventures contributes to building a stronger agricultural innovation ecosystem that can accelerate the transition toward sustainable agriculture and resilient food systems.
Through knowledge sharing, events, and ecosystem building, Agriventures helps ensure that promising agritech innovations can scale and reach farmers, food producers, and global markets.

Biotechnology, Agri-Inputs and Biosecurity: Why the Future of Farming Needs a Wider Conversation in Sofia

Agriculture is undergoing a quiet transformation. Genomic tools, precision biological solutions, and new generations of crop protection and plant nutrition products are changing what is possible in the field and along the whole food chain. At the same time, the same advances raise questions that the sector is only beginning to ask. Who controls the genetic resources and seeds we depend on? How do we manage biosecurity when biological agents and genomic technologies can be used for more than...

Where Agrifood Biotech and Research Funding Is Actually Going in 2026

Basic research doesn't fund itself, and in agrifood, the gap between a promising lab result and a fundable project often comes down to knowing which of a dozen overlapping EU programmes to approach first. Food safety science, biotech platforms, and multi-country research consortia each follow their own funding logic, and 2026 has brought fresh calls across all three. Two Live Examples Worth Studying Safe-Agri, one of AgriVentures' active projects, is reinforcing the security assessment...

A New Door Is Opening for Bulgarian Farmers and Agri-Innovators - And It's Fully Funded

For years, the biggest barrier between Bulgarian agriculture and Europe's most advanced farms hasn't been ambition. It's been access — to the right rooms, the right people, and the budget to get there. AgriVentures' new Missions program was built to remove exactly that barrier, and it does it in a way few programs in the region ever have: by covering the full cost of getting Bulgarian farmers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and companies in front of Europe's leading agri-food innovators. If you...

Understanding Biomass Flows in Europe: A €6M Horizon Europe Call Agrifood Founders Shouldn't Miss

A question we've been getting a lot lately, including from our own LinkedIn community, is some version of: "Can my startup actually apply for this, and how?" This time it's about Understanding biomass flows in Europe (HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-05), a Horizon Europe call with a total budget of €6,000,000 that opened on 17 April 2026 and closes on 17 September 2026. It's exactly the kind of opportunity worth breaking down properly, because the honest answer is "yes, but not the way most...
