What's at stake
Sufficient, healthy and affordable nutrition is a fundamental element for the sustainability of a society. Across the globe, the entire value chain for food production has become the centre of interest: it encompasses farming practices, production and market conditions for agricultural products, trade, etc. In OECD member states, the greatest challenges lie in the transparency and verifiability of origin as well as the consequences of over-nourishment. In stark contrast to this, the priority for developing and emerging nations is to combat hunger or, as it were, ensure the supply of affordable food.

Relevance for Investors
Global hunger has been showing a decreasing trend over the last two decades. Nevertheless, food manufacturers still have a lot of potential to contribute to further improvements on all aspects of nutrition. Food manufacturers strongly influence the composition of commercial food products. Many of these products are rich in energy (calories) but poor in micronutrients. Health costs associated with unhealthy nutrition and food habits are extremely high in many industrialized nations. Creating a portfolio of healthy food products will pay off for manufacturers in a global trend to healthy living. Companies acting today will furthermore be much more resilient to future government legislation aimed at the solution of national health problems. The result is a long term competitive advantage that will impact a firm’s operational performance as well as its stock price.
