Investing in U.S. farmland

How does direct investment in farmland provide diversification, inflation protection, and return potential?

By 2050, the world’s farmland will likely have to support a population of more than nine billion people—an increase that will require a 60% boost in agricultural productivity.  This plus converging trends including a growth in worldwide consumption of protein and resultant pressure on global grain supplies, industrialization and urban development as well as intensifying water scarcity make direct investment in U.S. farmland an increasingly compelling opportunity.
