9.8 billion – this is how many people will be living on Earth by 2050 according to UN estimates. As the population grows, so does the demand for food. At the same time, however, climate change is threatening crop yields.

Meeting the increasing demand for food in the future is one of the greatest challenges that humanity is facing. The ongoing digitalization of agriculture and new food technologies will help to relieve this situation – and ensure stable returns in the portfolio. The key issues here are smart farming and plant-based proteins.

Smart Farming

The digitalization of agriculture

Food production will have to increase by 70 percent by 2050 in order to continue meeting the demand for food. At the same time, however, the agricultural sector is facing major challenges such as limited availability of farmland, increasing demand for fresh water and the effects of climate change.

  

“We will have to feed around 25% more people using the land we have available today.”

Prof. Achim Walter, ETH Zürich

  

Our Smart Farming strategy focuses on the areas of precision agriculture, robotics, vertical farming and biology, and we believe these are the most promising approaches to increasing agricultural production in a more sustainable and resource-efficient approach. We are convinced that our strategy will offer investors an attractive long-term perspective in a rapidly growing market.
