The Fifth Estate’s Post

ESG investment presents a significant opportunity for farmers, offering untapped potential for sustainable agriculture. British farmers stand to benefit from corporate investment, provided it is implemented correctly. Insights on leveraging environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments to empower farmers were shared at a recent event hosted at the Cambridge Judge Business School. Organised by Lloyds Banking Group, the "Finance in the Field" debate saw experts from the finance, farming and research sectors discuss how sustainable finance can drive positive change in agriculture. #ESG #SustainableAgriculture #Farmers #Investment #Cambridge #JudgeBusinessSchool #LloydsBankingGroup #HelpingBritainProsper

Lower interest rates for low-carbon projects?   Attracting climate finance is critical to supporting green investment, but high interest rates will make the transition to net zero a challenge, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has warned. Offering preferential rates to finance low-carbon projects could be part of the solution, the experts say.   At JIMCO (Jameel Investment Management Co.), we invest in climate-conscious funds across the globe through its Strategic Asset Fund.

Best Long-Term Investments Of 2024! The best way to build wealth is to put your money to work in the Long-Term agro food projects! A great way to get ahead of the game is to pursue long-term investing. When you buy and hold assets for years—or even decades—you have time on your side.   The global food system presents a huge business and investment opportunity with an estimated asset value of US$14 trillion, equivalent to between 16 percent to 20 percent of global GDP.    Global support to agricultural producers could reach nearly $1.8 trillion in 2030 . Therefore, transforming food systems is critical to achieve global targets including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), objectives of the Paris Agreement, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.   Shifting the way we produce, process, transport, package, and consume food to align with these development, climate and nature targets requires an annual investment of $350 billion by 2030. These funds will drive sustainable agriculture and land use change, innovation in food value chains, shifts in consumer behaviour, and help overcome institutional and financial barriers.   We offer long-term agro-food mega projects from our corporation "Green Alliance" (Smart Sustainable Agro Park Cluster and Smart Agro Hub - Greenport) - short-term in terms of construction time - only 18 months and long-term in terms of existence, for example, like Coca Cola, McDonald's, etc. Since financial instruments are issued for our projects and green bonds are issued, each of our projects is listed on the stock exchange and their long-term listing on the stock exchange occurs! A minority investor invests only 400 thousand Euros - one-time and receives a long-term net profit of 10 million Euros per year and a share in the project -13%, which he can then sell at market value. Or forge the entire business into your own personal property!   It's time to invest in projects confirmed by real production assets. 22 projects ready for implementation - waiting for their minority investors!   We are not selling you a pen, we are selling you a finished, time-stable piece of work!   Buy now - the future of generations! #EcoFriendly #GreenEconomy #circulareconomy #RenewableNaturalGas #Sustainability #Bioeconomy #VentureCapital #Privateequity    Contacn us!

#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

Responsibly managed plantation forestry in Sub-Saharan Africa is becoming an increasingly attractive asset class. The African continent hosts 17% of the world’s forests. However, nearly four million hectares of these are lost each year, with 700 million hectares of degraded land that could be restored.    At New Forests we are focused on growing this area of sustainable investment, with our African Forestry Impact Platform spotlighting four key areas of impact – climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, gender and diversity, and community and livelihoods. Eva Warigia, New Forests’ Associate Director, Investor Relations spoke to ESG Investor about our work in Africa and how we’re determined to leave a better world for future generations.    Read the full interview here (subscription required): https://lnkd.in/egwZ63XQ

Modern farming methods are a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and the degradation of our soils. By focusing on restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity and keeping natural ecosystems in balance, regenerative agriculture contributes to create a healthier and more sustainable food system whilst combatting climate change. In this context, we are pleased to support our partners Regenerate Asset Management on their mission to transition agriculture towards sustainable, natural ecosystems which positively impact people and the planet whilst delivering market rate private equity returns. Many congratulations to Ben Stafford, Ryan Cameron, Jeremy Stroud and the whole team at Regenerate Asset Management for completing the fund's first investment into Regen Blue, a sustainable blueberry enterprise in Southern Portugal. Future investments by the fund in which M&G Investments Catalyst invested €150m will focus on the build-out of a network of regenerative farms across Europe, to take advantage of the growing demand for other types of sustainable produce.
