Sustainable investment can be beneficial for curbing the global food price inflation.

In
the last few years, the agriculture sector has witnessed a sharp rise in food
prices. Rise in poverty and global warming is being predicted to cause more
shortage of food and clean drinking water in the years to come. Developing
nations are being said to be the worst affected with such global issues. If
experts are to be believed, the present need is to adopt the concept of environmental sustainability and invest in countries that have untapped potential
for food production. For instance, countries such as Ukraine, Russia and
Kazakhstan hold good potential for export and agricultural production.
Therefore, responsibleinvestment along with effective
policies for sustainable development is
required to make sure these developing countries also play an important role in
solving global food crisis.
Apart
from socially responsible investing, government
policies of these countries will also play an important role. Unless the
agriculture sector doesn’t offer a supportive platform for ethical investing
opportunities, financial firms from all sectors will not be motivated to invest
money in such economies. Agriculture has been declared a national priority in
Russia and the amount of sustainable investment in this sector has also been
increased as per the government policy. The annual support of RUB 66 billion
(2.6 billion US$) from the state in 2007 will be increased to RUB 130 billion
(5.2 billion US$) in 2012. Efforts are being made to create effective support
systems so that government and public private responsibilities can be combined
for good results.
More
attention is required on factors that can affect the profitability of food
production. With sustainable investment in facilities related to storage,
transportation and handling of produce, loss occurring after crop harvest can
be avoided. This will not only prove effective in farmers getting a fair price for
their produce but the farm profitability will also increase considerably. With
key agricultural produce becoming expensive, policymakers across the world are
including the topic of food price inflation on top of economic policy. Since
the problem of high food prices is not just limited to food importing
countries, effective measures will be required from all over the world to solve
this issue.
