Is a new food supply chain poised to take off?

Apr 11, 2023

Consider this potential global megatrend—a potential opportunity for attractive returns and to address a top planetary threat

Did you know that one of the gravest environmental threats is also one of today’s most exciting investment themes? We’re talking about the current food supply chain.

How produce is grown and harvested, how livestock are raised, the use of agricultural chemicals and plastic food packaging—in short, the food system—ends up polluting soils and waterways. Agricultural land is also expanding worldwide at the expense of natural habitats. Scientists consider the current food system one of the most serious planetary threats.

But that’s only part of the story.

Innovative companies throughout the food supply chain are providing a range of strategies that we believe are investment opportunities potentially offering attractive returns.

Here’s why.

Reengineering the food system for biodiversity will likely attract capital

Scientists agree that biodiversity—the variety of animals, plants, insects (and microbes such as bacteria and fungi) and their habitats—is essential to the viability of human life. Biodiverse habitats provide us with the raw materials and clean water we need to live.

We think the innovative companies reengineering how the food system will work in the future present potential opportunities for investors to help promote and protect essential biodiversity while potentially earning attractive returns.

In our view, food system innovators are more likely to succeed than competitor companies that aren’t making the transition to producing with less of an influence on biodiversity—for economic reasons. Take a company selling organic, friendly microbes that make seeds sprout faster and are less expensive than fertilizer. We think that firm’s chances of success look better over the long run than the maker of a more expensive, conventional agricultural chemical that does the same thing.

Or take companies using precision agriculture (more on what that means below). Some precision technologies can improve input efficiency by 20 percent, reducing the overuse of fertilizers, herbicides, and other agrochemicals.1,2That’s a win-win situation—economic and environmental.

Companies are also looking to reinvent the world’s food supply chain because in its current state, our food ecosystem is helping drive unprecedented global biodiversity loss.3 Pastureland is expanding at an unprecedented rate to meet growing demand for meat, crowding out plants, animals and their habitats. Agriculture uses 70% of the planet’s fresh water and food systems are responsible for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).4,5 Intensive agriculture depletes the soil, and the runoff from synthetic chemical fertilizer damages habitats.

We see the following types of companies in the food value chain making positive contributions to biodiversity and potentially outperforming traditional indexes.

Alternative plant-based proteins

Companies making new, plant-based foods have the potential to achieve four goals at once:

  • Supply food for the world’s growing population
  • Use far less land than animals would for an equivalent output
  • Supply humans with needed protein (typically from legumes, such as lentils, peas, chickpeas and beans)
  • Boost soil fertility (because many legumes put nitrogen into the soil, which helps other plants to grow)

When it comes to the planet, a broad rise in plant-based proteins’ popularity would drastically reduce agricultural water use.6 Legumes could eliminate vast amounts of fertilizer use, and greatly increase yields if they were planted simply as soil helpers, in rotation with cereal crops that deplete the quality of the soil.

What about the bottom line?

Consumers are already shifting away from foods whose production creates the highest GHG emissions. We think more people are likely to join the trend, making alternative proteins an interesting investment opportunity. Some specialists believe that the plant-based meat market has the potential to increase by $17.8 billion by 2030 - a 14.74% CAGR.7

Replacing chemical inputs with cutting-edge science

Biochemicals occur naturally in plants, animals and microorganisms, and act like fertilizers. Companies are commercializing them for agricultural use because they make crops more resilient, helping farmers reduce their use of more dangerous (and expensive) synthetic fertilizers whose polluting runoff damages biodiversity.

Biochemicals are especially appealing at a time when human-made fertilizer’s prices have exploded, one of the factors pushing food prices beyond the reach of many.

So-called “bio-science” innovator companies are producing natural enzymes and bacteria that speed seed germination and plant growth while enriching crops’ nutritional quality. They also require less energy than conventional farming techniques.

The bottom line? The market for beneficial insects and biochemicals, and other forms of crop protection, some specialists anticipate may have an 8%–10% compound annual growth rate, and could expand to a billion industry globally by 2035.8

Making agriculture less water-intensive and less polluting

Companies are tackling the water issues in two ways: first, they’re reducing water as an input, especially in drought-prone areas, with technologies such as micro-irrigation, “digital water” (using sensors to, for example, monitor and measure soil and plants’ status to determine their precise water needs for conservation and efficiency), and closed-loop water recycling (as in vertical farming, which can recirculate most of the water that would be lost to evaporation out in the field).

Companies are also working on the wastewater side of the equation— aiming to prevent chemically tainted water as an output. They’re looking at treatment prior to release, for example, making infrastructure investments to stop the release of raw sewage into rivers and oceans.

Right now, the deployment of water recycling and micro-irrigation is limited. But important growing regions of the United States are already experiencing a profound water shortage, so we expect a strong demand for these companies and their technologies.

Sustainable food packaging

The images may be familiar: sea turtles strangled by plastic rings, birds and fish with stomachs full of plastics. A mere 9% of plastic waste is recycled while 50% ends up in landfill. By 2060, plastic waste is on track to almost triple compared to 2019 levels.9

To address these issues, some packaging manufacturers in the food supply chain are using less of it—or using more recyclable materials such as cardboard. Some also are switching their processes. One packaging industry executive estimated plastic substitution to be a 12.5 billion annual global opportunity.10

Another potential benefit: switching from plastics to alternative packaging can also enhance food preservation.11

Important Information

Sustainable investing (“SI”) and investment approaches that incorporate environmental social and governance (“ESG”) objectives may include additional risks. SI strategies, including ESG separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), may limit the types and number of investment opportunities and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG or sustainable focus. Certain strategies focused on particular sectors may be more concentrated in particular industries that share common factors and can be subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens. Investing on the basis of sustainability/ESG criteria can involve qualitative and subjective analysis and there can be no assurance that the methodology utilized, or determinations made, by the investment manager will align with the beliefs or values of the investor. Investment managers can have different approaches to ESG or sustainable investing and can offer strategies that differ from the strategies offered by other investment managers with respect to the same theme or topic. ESG or sustainable investing is not a uniformly defined concept and scores or ratings may vary across data providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for evaluating ESG characteristics. Additionally, when evaluating investments, an investment manager is dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager to incorrectly assess an investment’s ESG/ SI performance.

The evolving nature of sustainable finance regulations and the development of jurisdiction-specific legislation setting out the regulatory criteria for a “sustainable investment” or “ESG” investment mean that there is likely to be a degree of divergence as to the regulatory meaning of such terms. This is already the case in the European Union where, for example, under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU) (2019/2088) (“SFDR”) certain criteria must be satisfied in order for a product to be classified as a “sustainable investment”. Unless otherwise specified, any references to “sustainable investing” or “ESG” in this material are intended as references to our internally developed criteria only and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory definition.

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio's investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
