James Altucher of Formula Capital sees potential nutrition for investors in the world's ravenous and growing appetite for food.
"I think we're going to see a continual increase in food prices, not only because of the price of oil, because of increased demand in Asia, Europe, the developing world," he told CNBC.
"You have farmers moving into the cities, demanding more food, but producing less of it."

], which basically has the monopoly on food distribution," he said. "They've raised their dividend every year for the past 20 years, they have a 3 percent dividend, they've bought back 30 million shares over the past two years."
Altucher also likes the Brazilian food processor Sadia [SDA

], so I think you can benefit there."
