“HighQuest Partners’ content planning team has made concerted efforts to engage the most relevant, experienced participants in the sector,” says HighQuest Partners Managing Director Hunt Stookey, “We are excited to have organized this major league roster of talent and keen insight. We are confident that Global AgInvesting will be unequalled this year in breadth and depth of coverage.”

Global AgInvesting 2010 is the only event in North America to bring together leading fund managers, investors and industry experts from the private sector, public sector and academia to address the fundamental issues that will determine where value will be created over the coming decade in terms of crops, geography and infrastructure on a global basis. This conference has been developed to respond to the growing interest in farmland asset management as investors come to appreciate the fundamentals regarding food production and agribusiness, including issues surrounding food security, a growing world population and rising GDP in the developing world.

The conference will explore:

• Agricultural land as an emerging asset class including the current state of the sector and outlook for the next few years;

• Different global strategies being pursued by leading managers, and how those strategies fit with different investor objectives;

• Opportunities for private agricultural investment outside of the major global row crops, including animal protein production (livestock, poultry, dairy and aquaculture), infrastructure and ag private equity;

• How large-scale farming operations are addressing social and environmental stewardship challenges, particularly in the developing world.
