Amsterdam-based growth capital firm Anterra Capital, which was formed in 2008 through the spin-out of Rabobank’s venture capital investment team, is launching a new food and agriculture-focused fund with backing from Moonray Investors and Rabobank.

Anterra also announced its debut investment in UK-based FFT Holdings, a food preservative company whose technology slows the decaying of fresh produce by inhibiting the natural plant ripening hormone ethylene gas.
