Recently it hit the news that Bill and Melinda Gates are the single largest owners of farmland in the United States. It may seem surprising, but institutional investors have known for years about the attraction of farmland as an asset class. Not only is it a good investment with low volatility, low correlation to the stock market, and a superior hedge against inflation, it also has the potential to positively impact future generations and our planet at large.
Today, there are approximately 7.7 billion people on Earth. The U.N. predicts that number will grow to 9.8 billion by 2050, and to just under 11 billion by 2100. With increased population will come stark increases in demand for farmed goods. With limited land on Earth and the progression of climate change threatening precious natural resources, the agriculture industry must find ways to adapt to a rapidly changing planet. To meet the total demand for produce, feed, fuel, meat, and dairy, it is estimated farmers will have to completely double their total production in about 50 years.
Research shows that with proper management and by incorporating high-tech and sustainable approaches, farms can magnify as well as preserve their yields. The farms of the future will need to support a growing population amid a changing climate and scarce natural resources, and by investing in sustainable agriculture, you can help ensure a healthy planet and food security for all.
