Global shifts in incomes and populations, geopolitics and the climate crisis are combining to drastically alter the outlook for the world’s food supply. Taimur Hyat, chief operating officer for asset manager PGIM, joined the What Goes Up podcast to discuss his research into the changing world of food and what opportunities and risks it all presents to investors.  

“We think food is where the energy sector and this whole talk about energy transition was about 10 years ago,” Hyat says. “We are like 10 years behind in the thinking. And it’s going to catch up with us, because the current food system is simply not fit for purpose. It is not going to work for our planet, it’s not going to work for our consumption needs for a variety of reasons.”
