Building Relationships Between Seasoned Asset Managers and Influential Institutional Investors.

Agriculture offers numerous sustainable investment strategies that adhere to ESG, SDGs, Natural Capital, and responsible investing protocols important to the Japanese investment community, as well as strategies to ensure food security. Influential Japanese institutional investors are looking to expand allocations into food & agriculture, and after six years of education from the Global AgInvesting community through the GAI Asia conference, the outlook for investments into foreign funds is stronger than ever.
