Market opportunity and investment rationale
U.S. farmland supply is shrinking due to suburban development, while global food demand and population are rising.
Farmland for fresh produce and permanent crops offers higher profitability, lower volatility, and less government dependency than commodity crop land.
U.S. farmland has delivered strong, stable returns with lower volatility and low correlation to major asset classes over 25 years.
California irrigated and coastal cropland have appreciated by 260% and 155% respectively since 2000.
Fresh produce prices have outpaced overall food inflation by 1.3x since 1980.
