"More people need to get into farming; otherwise, we won't have any food," said commodity investor Jim Rogers, who launched the international Quantum Fund with George Soros in the early 1970s and went on to create the Rogers International Commodities Index, which tracks the performance of numerous commodities in global markets, ranging from agriculture to metals and energy products.
Rogers and Notaro belong to an increasingly active community of farmland investors hoping to profit from the world's growing need for nourishment. "I'm still wildly optimistic about the future of agriculture worldwide," said Rogers, who has served as an advisor and as a director to companies that hold farmland in Australia, Brazil and North America.
