Abstract
La financiarización del sistema global alimentario, intensificada a raíz de la crisis del 2007–08,
ha dado lugar a la diversificación y el fortalecimiento de los llamados agentes financieros. Entre
éstos se encuentran los inversores institucionales, que agrupan a entidades como los fondos de
pensiones (privados y públicos). Entre las estrategias de inversión de éstos, han adquirido
relevancia las realizadas en el sector agro–alimentario, tanto en las distintas fases de las cadenas de
valor (acopio, producción, procesamiento, comercialización), como en tierras agrícolas. El objetivo
de este artículo es el análisis de la reciente participación del fondo de pensiones público de Canadá
(CPPIB), el octavo a nivel mundial, en la división agrícola de una de las cinco principales empresas
globales alimentarias: Glencore.
The financialization of the agri–food system, accelerated as a result of the crisis of 2007-08, has led to the diversification and strengthening of so-called financial agents. These include institutional investors, who group entities such as pension funds (private and public). Among the investment strategies of these have acquired relevance in the agro-food sector, both in the different stages of value chains (sourcing, production, processing, marketing), and farmland. The objective of this article is to analyze the recent participation of the public pension fund of Canada (CPPIB), the eighth worldwide, in the agricultural division of one of the five leading global food companies: Glencore.
