RISING DEMAND FOR ENERGY
Primary energy use expected to grow 40% by 2025, with 93% of growth to
come from developing world economies.
By 2025, global oil demand is predicted to be 60% greater than today
Annual rate of oil consumption growing swiftly in China (+7.5%) & India (+5.5%)
PARADIGM SHIFT
Fossil fuel energy sources are diversifying and becoming more efficient in lightof peak oil concerns
Many of OPEC nations, including Saudi Arabia, are already pumping oil fromknown post peak fields
Once field has peaked, rate of decline is dramatic and can be as much as10%/year
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL
Big Oil conglomerates shifting focus to shale gals, natural gas, tar sands and
deepwater offshore fields
Billions invested every year to develop unconventional sources of fuel
New horizontal drilling techniques are revolutionizing natural gas industry

COMPELLING REASONS TO INVEST
Limited resources, increasing demand and rising food prices
SIGNIFICANT opportunities from field to fork in commodities, farming & seed
technology and agribusiness
EXPONENTIAL POPULATION GROWTH
How will we feed 9 billion+ people by 2050? FAO reports global agricultureproduction must increase 70% to meet new demand
Nearly all new demand coming from developing world, where agricultural
demand is set to double
Historic shift in global dietary patterns as middle class shifts to a more meat-centric/energy-intensive diet. (Significant knock-on effect on water and arableland use)
Noteworthy trend in developing countries, where meat consumption is growing3X faster than rest of the world.
FOOD SUPPLY/DEMAND GAP
Investment in agriculture must rise 47% to $279 billion/year at a minimum
Despite years of advances, gains in agricultural yield per acre have slowed toless than 1% a year
Agriculture science and technology attracting new investment and governmentimperatives from countries around the globe

FRESHWATER SCARCITY
Current freshwater sources satisfy only 50% of world demand. By 2025, the
world will need 25% more water than is currently available
Water scarcity is an economic constraint in major growth markets such asChina, India, Indonesia, Australia and the Western United States
By 2025, per capita water availability in water-stressed Gulf region will likelydecrease by 50%
AGRICULTURE/ENERGY/WATER NEXUS
Nearly 70% of global water consumption is used for agricultural irrigation.In developing nations, this can be as high as 90%
Global agriculture wastes approximately 60% of the 2,500 trillion liters of waterit uses every year
Dangerous aquifer depletion occurring in major agricultural centers
INEFFICIENT WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Municipalities commonly lose up to 50% of their water supplies to leaks
U.S. water infrastructure system requires $1 tril lion in infrastructure upgrades
Gulf countries plan to invest $300 bil lion plus in crucial water projects
China plans to invest $622 bill ion on water infrastructure over the next decade

WIDENING RESOURCE DEFICIT
Resource demand from developing world to exceed developed world by 2015
Demand for iron-ore, aluminum and copper to double over next 15 years, asChina develops into worlds largest consumer of metals
DID YOU KNOW? BY 2030, ADDITIONAL DEMAND WOULD REQUIRE
Another Pilbara region (Australia) every 5 years to meet iron demand
Another Saguenay (Canada) every 9 months to meet aluminum demand
Another Escondido (Chile) every year to meet copper demand
Another Hunter Valley (Australia) every year to meet coal demand
Another Ranger (Australia) every four years to meet uranium demand
COAL IS KING
One 1,200 MW coal-fired power plant is being built every week in China.China is on track to triple coal consumption and become a net coal importer
