Sounds like you're looking for a product you can be "passionate" about. Which will depend entirely on what gets your goose.
Agtech is a cool one. A lot of the guys that wouldn't dream of implementing software in their operations are approaching the age that their kids who grew up with technology are taking over and might be more open to what software can do for their farm/ranch. Plus, you'd get to talk to some neat folks and possibly spend some time traveling to different farms and ranches. This is obviously something that I would find interesting.

No, it really doesn't.
I like where your mind is though. Don't have any real world examples, but had some thoughts I laid out below that align philosophically but maybe not business-wise.
I feel like something AI/ML-based could be really positive, if it's directed towards the right outcome - climate of course, but perhaps food distribution or the criminal justice system (the latter to identify procedural mistakes or bias resulting in wrongful conviction).
Don't know about the marketability of the last one, but it just occurred to me.

First n foremost: You have your heart at the right place. So kudos!
I read somewhere the best way to work for the society, let's say fix global warming, is to not switch off the AC's and Fans or Buy Electric. Rather - to get everyone out of poverty and improve child nutrition. That way, you raise more intelligent youngsters who care about the environment more, and the environment gets fixed.
Maybe something on those lines? I'd love to see how many new users on LinkedIn are signing up from 3rd world countries / new exposure to the internet - and support them in some way. Not sure if SaaS is the way to do this, but maybe it can be?
Also, great ideas SaaSam and jefe

anything based around deriving value from your data, ai/ml for said data, or data security.
These are industries that are growing massively and will not be going anywhere any time soon. They're the modern day gold rush in my opinion/experience
