OVERVIEW
Farmland has historically served as a store of wealth and has exhibited attractive characteristics including low correlation to traditional asset classes, inflation protection, and long-term appreciation potential. Our strategy focuses on acquiring high-quality row crop farmland in core U.S. agricultural regions alongside experienced local operators.
In the United States, productive cropland continues to be lost to infrastructure and housing development while global demand for food, fuel, and fiber continues to grow. We believe these long-term supply and demand dynamics provide a compelling backdrop for farmland investing.

Background
Why Proterra Farmland?
Our Unique Offering
Inflation Protection: Farmland has historically demonstrated the ability to preserve purchasing power across market cycles. Land values and farm revenues have often benefited from rising commodity prices and inflationary environments.
Limited Supply: Productive cropland is a finite resource facing continued pressure from development and competing land uses. At the same time, global demand continues to increase, creating favorable long-term supply and demand dynamics
Downside Resilience: Farmland has historically demonstrated low volatility and relative strength during periods of economic uncertainty. The combination of productive use and long-term land appreciation has supported durable investment outcomes over time.
Portfolio Diversification: Farmland has historically exhibited low correlation to traditional asset classes. This can provide diversification benefits while offering attractive risk-adjusted return potential.
