Bring on the Bugs – “Susan On Money” for the Week of July 25, 2012

July 25 By Linkous Group

Hi Everyone,

Bugs have never bothered me that much. The exception would be mosquitoes but even I have to admit that the new malaria-proof ones are pretty cool. If you have been reading these blogs for a while, you know that new technology fascinates me to no end. Bloomberg-Businessweek (July 23-29, 2012) ran an article about bug breeding with some awesome results.

Investing allows people to educate themselves and then participate in the growth of future technologies that will change our world. I believe it’s the best way to keep your head in the game and to have a voice.

I hope you find this stuff exciting too.

~Susan

Bring on the Bugs

“The global crop-protection industry is dominated by agrochemical companies such as Syngenta, Monsanto, and Bayer CropScience. It’s also dominated by awesome, crime-fighting bugs (note: that is not a technical term). With U.S. and European Union regulators, not to mention supermarket chains, toughening their stance against traditional pesticides, Basel-based Syngenta is now breeding and selling fly-munching mites, caterpillar-killing wasps, and “premium quality” bees in bulk to help farmers find chemical-free solutions to crop damage.” ~Patrick Winters and Jack Kaskey

The global market for crop protection exceeds $44 Billion!

It makes sense to consider the importance of feeding an ever-growing world population while seeking out the healthiest ways to do it. Industries like this deserve our attention.

Until next week,
Susan R. Linkous
