The agriculture industry is fertile ground for investors, especially as the world braces for a population nearing 10 billion by 2050, according to UN estimates. While steady demand is one reason to consider investing in the agriculture space, buying into food stocks can also help to serve as a buffer against inflationary pressures.
Among agriculture stocks, rising demand for healthy and sustainable food options is driving particularly robust expansion for certain segments of the market. Take, for example, the global avocado market, which is on a trajectory to surpass $19 billion by 2026, roughly double its 2021 size.
