Fundamentals of Farmland Investment

•  Massive Population Growth to 9 Billion by 2050

•  Large Growth In Income fueling increase in consumption

•  Demands for better Nutrition Globally, on par with income and education increase

•  UN Estimates 95% of total cropland is being utilized in one form or another-Diminishing asset

•  Bio-Fuels could reduce available cropland by 8-20% by 2050

•  Some UN studies estimate a need to Double Ag output by 2050 to accommodate population increase

•  Demand for Agri-commodities growing by 2.5% per year, supply only increasing by 1.5%

•  Food and Water-Arguably the most valuable commodities of the future

“The fundamentals remain in place for a long-term boom in the prices of everything ag-related. The simplest metric to consider is the amount of farmland per person worldwide: In 1960 there were 1.1 acres of arable farmland per capita globally, according to data from the United Nations. By 2000 that had fallen to 0.6 acre. And over the next 40 years the population of the world is projected to grow from 6 billion to 9 billion. The farmland phenomenon is almost certainly still in the early stages and is playing itself out in many ways around the globe.” Fortune Magazine, 2009

Supply and Demand •  Food and Agricultural Dept. of UN states to support current

demand curves, we need to add 120mm Ha of land by 2030 (2x the size of France)

•  110 million additional people in poverty because of high food prices in 2008, additional 45mm a year malnourished, 17% of the total world population is malnourished.

•  1960 there was .42 hectares per capita of arable land, 2006: .22 hectares per capita

•  UN Environmental program report, 100% increase in Demand for food by 2050. UN Population Division (2007). UN 2006 population revision. UN, New York. Available online at: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ [Accessed on 20 January 2009].

Supply…continued •  “Land degradation and conversion of cropland for non-

food production including biofuels, cotton and others are major threats that could reduce the available cropland by 8–20% by 2050. Species infestations of pathogens, weeds and insects, combined with water scarcity from overuse and the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, soil erosion and depletion as well as climate change may reduce current yields by at least an additional 5–25% by 2050.” United Nations Environment Programme Rapid Response Assessment (February 2009).
