Food Fight:
The Immediacy and Opportunity in Agriculture Investing
The agriculture sector’s importance is difficult to overstate. Agriculture impacts structurally embedded hunger, social equality and income distribution, while economically, the sector directly shapes global trade and governmental policy and long-term environmental sustainability.
Join VanEck's Portfolio Manager, Shawn Reynolds, and Deputy Portfolio Manager, Ammar James, for a discussion on the current environment and why over the long term (but beginning today), markets must address critical food supply and sustainability issues.
SUMMARY
In this webcast, topics will include:
- The near and long-term headwinds facing agriculture and food production markets
- The role that public market investment should continue to serve as a valuable support mechanism
- Addressing agriculture as a crucial component of tackling climate change amid an expanding global population
- How the geopolitical events in Russia and Ukraine have accelerated change across agriculture supply chains
- How financial advisors can gain exposure to disruptive food and agriculture
Accepted for one hour of CFP/CIMA CE credit for live and on-demand attendees
CFA Institute members are encouraged to self-document their continuing professional development activities in their online CE tracker.

Sustainable Investing Considerations: Sustainable investing strategies aim to consider and in some instances integrate the analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the investment process and portfolio. Strategies across geographies and styles approach ESG analysis and incorporate the findings in a variety of ways. Incorporating ESG factors or Sustainable Investing considerations may inhibit the portfolio manager’s ability to participate in certain investment opportunities that otherwise would be consistent with its investment objective and other principal investment strategies.
ESG investing is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the factors utilized by VanEck or any judgment exercised by VanEck will reflect the opinions of any particular investor. Information regarding responsible practices is obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting, which may not be accurate or complete, and VanEck is dependent on such information to evaluate a company’s commitment to, or implementation of, responsible practices. Socially responsible norms differ by region. There is no assurance that the socially responsible investing strategy and techniques employed will be successful.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. As with any investment strategy, there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met and investors may lose money. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
