Investing in the future of food
Faced with a growing world population and climate change, the food industry was under severe strain even before the onset of Covid-19. In the wake of the pandemic, there has been mass disruption to global supply chains and the future of consumer eating habits is set to change for good. The Pictet-Nutrition fund directs capital to companies that improve sustainability, access and quality of farming supply chains. The fund invests across the entire sector, from farm to fork. It takes a wholly positive approach, aiming to benefit from solutions, not problems — it doesn’t invest in commodities or speculate in shortages in food. Instead, it focuses on helping to secure the world’s future food supply and therefore represent sustainable, long-term opportunities for investors. Find out more about post-pandemic shifts in the food industry and investor opportunities today.
