For investors you can use crunchbase and search for those investors that specifically invest in e-commerce. You will probably need to fly to Silicon Valley or NY (or both) to meet them. It’s improtant to target those that invest in e-commerce since tech investors at usually very focused on verticals or knowledge expertise.

On strategic partners I would look for companies that are distributors of similar food products but lack the type of products you are offering.
