Farmland, as a nature-based solution, has the potential to offer significant social and environmental advantages, such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, and support for rural economic growth. With the world's population projected to rise, the demand for food and fiber is also expected to increase. Investors can take advantage of this trend while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

Data as of March 31, 2022. Portfolio snapshot chart displays agriculture assets under management as a percentage of final market value ($4.1B) by crop for Q1 2022. Totals may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Diversification does not guarantee a profit nor protect against loss in any market.

There are several sectors within agriculture that can be considered for investment, including:

Crop Production - this includes investment in crops such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and other food crops.

Livestock Production - investing in livestock, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, or poultry, can be another area of focus.

Aquaculture - this sector involves investment in fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals.

Agroforestry - investing in the cultivation of trees for timber or other agricultural products.

Agricultural Technology - this sector encompasses investment in technologies that improve agricultural practices, such as precision agriculture, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence.

Food Processing and Distribution - investing in the processing and distribution of agricultural products, such as food and beverages, can also be a potential area of investment.

Agriculture investment has a track record of attractive returns and is generally uncorrelated to financial assets, such as equities and fixed income, particularly when diversified across commodity types, geographies, and management approaches.

“A successful economic development strategy must focus on improving the skills of the area's workforce, reducing the cost of doing business and making available the resources business needs to compete and thrive in today's global economy.”

 

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

 “We need to revise our economic thinking to give full value to our natural resources. This revised economics will stabilize both the theory and the practice of free-market capitalism. It will provide business and public policy with a powerful new tool for economic development, profitability, and the promotion of the public good.”
