Episode 69: Farm in your pocket - Rethinking AG investment with Nathan MacPhee

In this episode, we sit down with Nathan MacPhee, a former financial services executive turned agri-entrepreneur, to talk about how a passion for farming and a problem worth solving led to the creation of Invest In Farming Co-operative. Nathan walks us through the disconnect between consumers and producers, the huge barriers to getting into farming, and the rollercoaster risk that comes with growing food. His answer? A digital platform that lets everyday people invest in real agricultural assets such as cattle, canola, oysters, and pineapples. For farmers, it means access to capital without more debt. Instead of going to the bank or waiting for the next harvest cheque, they can presell a portion of their produce and get paid upfront before the season even starts. We unpack how this model works, how it empowers farmers without loading them up with more debt, and how it’s fostering emotional and financial connections between urban investors and rural producers.   Disclaimer The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and does not in any way constitute financial, investment, accounting, tax, or legal advice.
