In February 2021, J.D. Vance publicly advocated for AppHarvest, praising the company as a positive investment and an example of innovative business in the heartland. AppHarvest, a high-tech agriculture company based in Kentucky, focuses on sustainable farming practices, using cutting-edge technology to grow produce in large-scale greenhouses. The company is part of the movement to revitalize the agricultural sector in Appalachia and the broader Rust Belt, areas that have struggled economically due to the decline of traditional industries.
Vance, through his role at Narya Capital, was an early investor in AppHarvest. He highlighted the company’s mission to bring jobs, innovation, and sustainability to a region in need of economic diversification. AppHarvest’s greenhouses use significantly less water than traditional farming and aim to reduce the U.S. reliance on imported produce, making it a forward-thinking solution to global agricultural challenges. Vance’s advocacy for AppHarvest aligned with his broader vision of investing in businesses that can both drive economic renewal in underserved regions and address key issues like food security and sustainable development.
AppHarvest’s success became a key example of how investing in the heartland could yield both financial returns and positive social impact, fitting within Vance’s larger goal of revitalizing struggling communities through entrepreneurial growth.
