Investors

Investors are increasingly attracted to the positive environmental and social benefits of sustainable agriculture investments. In addition, investors have long favored the recession resiliency of the sector, along with its low correlation to other traditional asset classes. The founders of Aqua Ceres have worked in the agriculture and water sectors for several decades. Aqua Ceres is committed to responsible stewardship and sustainable practices, including new monitoring technologies to conserve and enhance soil, optimize irrigation, and preserve local ecosystems.

Capital

Many of the world’s farms remain owner-operated, and subscale, vulnerable to the widening generational gap as older farmers retire without successors. One of the biggest global trends has been the infusion of institutional capital into agriculture. The institutional buying of these smaller family farms, which have been traditional low-yield annual crop farms (wheat, corn, soy), and converting them into higher-yielding and higher-value superfoods and permanent crop farms (tree nuts, avocados, citrus). Aqua Ceres has been involved in several permanent crop developments, deploying the capital and managing the properties.

Healthier & More Nutritious

Global population growth, coupled with the shift towards healthier and more nutritious diets, is escalating the demand for agriculture, specifically in “superfood” permanent crop plantings. A massive cropland conversion is underway in the United States, Australia, and across the globe, converting farmland from the traditional annual crops, such as corn, wheat, and soy, to the ‘superfoods’ found in the permanent crops. Aqua Ceres is involved in developing permanent crops to help meet the increased global demand for healthier, more nutritious food.
