What is your education? from my experience you either have to be on a farm as the shit goes down (they notice first) or be a meteorologist who can see into the future
agri commodities also decay over time as a general rule, so i wouldn't say its rewarding. Just a series of pump and dumps that are hard to forsee

Agriculture is a shitcoin.

>>14551858
Vines n wines here, best rewards in agricolture. Only cocaine and heroine plants could generate more profit in my place

>You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows

I'm ITT because I think OPs premise is interesting. I think it's safe to assume that agriculture is going to face many challenges as it attempts to adapt to the rapidly changing climate.

The question is how do we profit from this? OPs call on the grass seed is a good one,and there are likely many more agri-opportunities.

this is the shit i love to do anon, but i dont know anything about farming.

Buy land in south of england if you want to make champagne in the upcoming 75 years and beyond

This shit should be illegal are you serious? When you hold all the crops in a drought I will just shoot you, the government should and will come for you.

only in shithole countries like pic related
fact is hoarding improves societal resilliance as those who have the foresight to hoard increase demand (and stored goods) while supply is high and then provide relief when supply is low (and earn money by doing so)
it serves to even up the prices over time so that the price swings arent so volatile

>>14552504

Supply and demand man. Free market is the nightmare of society. Fun fact, the drought in the EU has not caused famine in the EU, but it did in parts of Africa. A Dutch pig or chicken can pay more for corn that the people that rely on it for their sustenence. So in order to meet the demand of meat in Europe we caused famines. Because we like bacon and nuggets.

I studied agriculture and specialized in sustainable food production. Investing is a side gig.

>>14552663
what do you make of this year? Any good investment opportunites?

ouch that sucks
but question is which one is living beyond their means
the one that raises a family, probably with +5 kids, on the edge of starvation?
or the one that has such surplus that they can feed their pigs when there is draught?
the free market is a bitch, but it makes you reap what you sow

ah that figures. I guess you are sometimes out in the field and can see the troubles the farmers are having.

>>14552828

Because I am in Europe I only have advice for here, some markets are less global than others. The season in itself is pretty good. So I expect prices to be quite low. But we have had a early heatwave, im gonna wait to see what happens next week. Several local authorities have started discussing irrigation stops to save groundwater levels. (that still have not recovered from last years drought) If those bans happen I will most likely buy potatoes. Clearwater Russet specifically as that is the potato of choice for big brands like macdonals. Much better to invest in than consumer's cultivars.

What do you think of Lupins? I would say they're a dead cert to grow.

>basedbean alt

>like 300 seeds per plant

how do you get an account to trade futures on?

>>14553147

As a farmer, for sure. Growing market, decent prices. Great for nitrogen, which is especially in places that have a limit to the amount of fertilizer allowed. I advice a lot of farms that I visit to include Lupins of some sort in their crop rotation, but I don't think it is something you could buy futures of, and then profit.

well it is the current year after all

what do you people think about corn after that shitshow of a acreage report? H&S on the chart, and in general i have heard too many people preaching doom about this years harvest to take it seriously

>>14552663
How sustainable will food production be in the coming decade or two as the climate becomes increasingly unstable and major aquifers start running dry?

>>14554017

IMO its too early to preach doom on corn. But if both the USA and Europe have a lower yield than initially expected the price will make some jumps. Corn is a world market after all.

>>14554100

Chance of failed harvest is rising, but because of bigger yields thanks to innovation food security isn't a issue for western countries in the next 2 decades. It balances out. A bigger issue is that environmentally sustainable agriculture is not economically viable for as long as current methods are allowed.

England is physically incapable of producing champagne, ever. Even in a billion years.

>>14552625
But that's a good thing. Nightmares are supposed to be bad.

>>14554245
Are these innovations reducing price as well as increasing yields or should we expect food prices to be much higher in the future?
What would you say are the most significant innovations that will have the largest effects in the next two decades or so?
