In principle, it all sounds great, but location, location, location is always the key.
1. Is it likely to go the same way as Chinas farmland and turn to dust.
2. Does it have a sustainable water supply.
3. Is it succceptible to pests.
4. Is it succeptible to political changes.
5. Is access an issue.
6. What about extreme climate events.
7. Is there oil/gold/coal underneath it.
8. Long term climate change will accelerate, and land use will change.
9. Is it likely to be under water in a few years time
10. Do the theoretical farmers who work in offices and buy land have a fecking clue what they are doing.

Good luck, i am glad i'm poor so i don't have to worry about such things. You can't steal from me because i have nothing of value except my conscience.
