Updated on May 27th, 2025 by Bob Ciura

Individual products, businesses, and even entire industries (newspapers, typewriters, horse and buggy) go out of style and become obsolete.

Perhaps more than any other industry, agriculture is here to stay. Agriculture started around 14,000 years ago. It’s a safe bet we will be practicing agriculture far into the future.

And, the growth of the global population is tied to increasing agricultural efficiency. The agricultural revolution allowed greater population growth (and led to the industrial revolution).

As the global population grows, so does the need for improved agricultural production. This creates a long-term demand driver for agriculture stocks.
