Investors Urge Food Firms to Boost Plant Proteins
A group of investors managing $11.5 trillion in assets is calling on major food companies and retailers to diversify into more plant-based protein sources.
This move aims to enhance supply chain resiliency and mitigate food security risks, as global interest rates and higher temperatures increase feed costs, making animal supply chains more brittle.

The group of 73 investors, part of the Farm Animal Investment Risk and Return Initiative, sees opportunities for growth and health in alternative protein sources.
According to a FAIRR report, food companies face the risk of investor divestment if their exposure to animal supply chains is deemed too high.
