farmland investing, a growing sector

August 25, 2012 by greenhorns | 1 Comment

Where are there benefits for young farmers? How do these schemes impact the matrix of farmland ownership?

How does it compare with the land-grabs and speculative investment that we have seen in Africa ?

( see  http://www.oaklandinstitute.org/special-investigation-two-land-deals-africa)

Are there other ways for investment to benefit the future of agriculture?

We are interested in your big ideas

http://www.farmlandlp.com/resources/  Here is  a program in Oregon that allows investors to buy conventional ag land, convert it to organic ag land, and then it is managed for sheep and beef grazing.

Know of other examples? Let us know, we are compiling our index of these projects.

Thanks! Severine
