Amatex Capital is contemplating strategic agreements with leading international groups in regard to Ukrainian oil and gas, commercial real estate, agriculture and energy opportunities; it has commenced due diligence on several resource plays and M&A opportunities. The firm’s management is then no stranger to agricultural investments or real estate, either. And with the company’s information gathering efficiency, it was only a matter of time before they ventured into sustainable agriculture.

So the question is – just how financially viable can sustainable agriculture be?
Sustainable agriculture isn’t a new concept. In fact, the very concept of sustainability in structures and businesses has been used as cornerstones in many of the world’s greatest societies. Today, many entrepreneurs and entities have gravitated towards sustainable businesses, including real estate and agriculture, because the world has become more concerned about the environment.
In agriculture, sustainability doesn’t change the fundamentals of farming. A farm will still have its basic responsibilities to its workers and the community. Farm management, however, will be different.
A key aspect of sustainability is the minimization of pollution. To achieve this, farm soil has to be properly tended, and water should only be used when needed. The development of crop rotation, a sustainable ecosystem, a biodiverse farm, and agroforestry is encouraged in sustainable agriculture.
