The Rising Value of Farmland

Written by Versus Capital Investment Team | Jun 19, 2025 3:45:00 PM

As global populations rise and arable land declines, farmland is becoming increasingly scarce – and increasingly valuable.

For investors, this creates opportunity:

  • Reliable Demand: Global food consumption is projected to rise annually, making farmland a vital resource for the future.

  • Historically Consistent Performance: Over the 30-year period ending 12/31/24, the NCREIF Farmland Index averaged annual returns of 10.5%, with approximately one-third the volatility of the S&P 500 Index.

  • Inflation Protection: Farmland has historically held up in periods of market stress and rising prices, making it a key diversifier for portfolios.
Farmland offers a rare combination of historic durability, long-term growth potential, and alignment with one of the world’s most essential needs: food. That’s why we believe farmland remains a proven long-term investment with strong return potential.
