The Growth of the Organic Food Market
The organic food market has seen substantial growth, approaching $70 billion in 2023 and projected to reach $144 billion by 2032. Despite this impressive expansion, less than 1% of U.S. farmland is certified organic, highlighting a significant gap between demand and supply. Farmland LP is capitalizing on this opportunity by managing over 18,000 organic acres and has a 15-year track record of investment success. Their upcoming regenerative farmland fund aims to attract accredited investors while addressing both investor returns and environmental benefits.
