Back to the roots: Natural Food Basket

Friday, 4 June 2021 Reading time : 3 minutes

The industry around healthy and more sustainable foods has been booming for several years. More and more consumers are using products with pea proteins as meat substitutes, vegan alternatives to dairy, and local vegetables and meat. The consumer base is growing: worldwide sales of products in this category have risen from $150 billion (2015) to more than $200 billion.

In the process, companies like Beyond Meat are capitalizing on the climate consciousness of their target audiences, advertising the much lower environmental impact of meat alternatives compared to conventional meat. A vegan patty from Beyond Meat not only uses much less water and energy for its producton, but also generates fewer greenhouse gases. The company's stock is up 14.5% in 2021 (YTD).

In the U.S., Sprouts Farmers Market now has more than 340 stores and 35,000 employees. The organic supermarket chain specializes in the sale of fresh and packaged organic foods, and its profits have been increasing annually (stock +37.1% YTD).

Large companies such as U.S. food giant General Mills (+8.5% YTD) have also long recognized the sector's earnings potential; in 2000, it therefore acquired Cascadian Farms, a leading producer of organic food in the United States.

The demand for healthy, sustainable food is here to stay. This opens up attractive return opportunities for investors.
