Agriculture
We invest in an inescapable fact, growing populations create an appetite for food and therefore farmland. We are equipped with farming expertise, investment management discipline and market knowledge all in one place, in-house. Demand for food is growing; this is driven by global population growth, supported by increased urbanization and household incomes in emerging markets. This increased demand is finely balanced against a finite supply of arable land suitable for growing crops and growing concerns over water availability and quality.
You can build new office buildings and apartment buildings but there is a finite supply of quality farmland. While farming has always been an attractive business, it has come into focus corporately because of how important agriculture is to not only the food base but other components of the global economy.
The Wianno team uniquely combines the varied disciplines of farming expertise, investment management and market knowledge into one powerful team. The investment management team is complemented by experienced farm management located at each property with deep knowledge of their crops, their weather conditions and their markets. Together, the whole team seeks to maximize performance at the farm level by directing capital towards innovations that improve quality and yield to drive maximum value.
