OPPORTUNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR INVESTING IN NATURAL RESOURCES

OPPORTUNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR INVESTING IN NATURAL RESOURCES

What is the rol of businessmen in a growing shortage of natural resources? In my opinion businessmen have more responsibilities than in the past. The reason is that having the control of resources, you can control the lives of many. In the past there were many alternatives for resources in other nations or within your own country.  Presently, the sea is producing less fish and seafood and it is more costly in energy and food to produce them through farms. Wild populations on the sea, feed themselves. We just have to collect them. The same is happening with all resources. It is more expensive in human energy to have more fresh water, to have more oil, to have more coal, to have more lumber, it is costing more to produce anything.

In Chile, we just had two strong earthquakes this past week ( 8,2 and 7,6 Ritcher) , and then people value what you loose and you give for granted daily. Fresh water, a toilet, electricity, a roof to live, safety, life itself, and the life of your loved ones.  No other assets were more relevant. Do developed countries need huge disasters to value properly the main assets of life?


In monetary terms there are some modern goods and devices highly over evaluated and some valuable natural resources that are not properly priced. This distortion on the estimation of value of real assets had a crisis in 2008-2009. However many financial officers are blind to see the need for a change. They are going  be taken by surprise again when a new crisis may come.

We need a new breed of businessmen dedicated to natural resources, men and women committed to feed humankind presently and also committed to keep reserves for future generations.  Businessmen trying to get profits today and reinvesting to harvest in the future. We need businessmen willing to share the abundance of their production with their shareholders but also with humanity. It is possible to get private profits and a general equilibrium for society at the same time. 

We are trying to find investor with such vision, a balanced philosophy of life and business. We seek investor kind-hearted that may like to get involved on the hard work of producing.  If these people  leave an empty space on the "dirty" area of producing, then shouldn't complain that mainly selfish and eager people take control of businesses. Someone has to produce profits and products to sustain the society. What I propose, is that the great organizational capacities of many people involved on the philanthropic sector, should somehow back up the hands to do people on the producing sector of the society. There shouldn't be such separation. Nature and mankind need to close such gap to build a more balanced society and a bridge for future generations.
