🥕 Why do we, as impact investors, focus on Food & Agriculture? Our food system strains #nature and #climate, while #climatechange amplifies #foodinsecurity and the demand for more #resilientsolutions. 🌾 Agriculture accounts for 80% of #deforestation and 70% of global #freshwater consumption, and it is the identified threat to 86% of the #species at risk of extinction. We must transition to a #naturepositive food system. 🌍 Our Planet&People One Fund is investing in solutions that shift to sustainable, regenerative, and circular practices from “farm” to “fork” to create a food system that feeds the growing global population and supports and enhances #biodiversity! #impactinvesting #privatemarkets Collective Action Nordic Investment Opportunities

Stay tuned for more #ImpactInsights. Together, we can make a difference!

#Regeneration will become a key #investment theme in the future but investors will find it easier to focus on a single impact rather than try to invest according to multiple #biodiversity themes, according to Gabriel Micheli, senior investment manager, thematic equities, Pictet Asset Management . For example, he said, one company may be able to produce more food on a single plot of #land but with consequences for #water use. https://lnkd.in/efHBCfzx
