| With 7 billion people now needing food on the planet, putting your money into soil and agriculture might be a long-term investment to consider, according to an article on Reuters.com. |
路透社的一篇文章表示，如今地球上有70億人需要吃飯，把你的錢投在土地和農業上是一個可以考慮的長期投資。? |
| In recent years, high-profile investors such as Jim Rogers and George Soros have made investments in farmland. |
近幾年，吉姆?羅杰斯、喬治?索羅斯等著名投資人已經開始投資農田。 |
| According to the article, farm property is an attractive investment because it has a finite supply and may become even scarcer with global warming, desertification and development. |
文章認為，田地是個有吸引力的投資品，因為其供應量有限，隨著全球變暖、沙漠化和各種開發，會變得更加稀缺。 |
| And, with a rising population, more tillable land will be needed. |
隨著人口增加，耕地的需求量也將增大。 |
| Moreover, it could be a way to diversify your portfolio away from financial markets wracked by global debt fears. |
另外，這也是實現投資多元化的一種方式，可使投資不再局限于備受全球債務危機困擾的金融市場。 |

Unlike precious metals such as gold, you can rent the farmland out and use it to grow crops or feed livestock.

與黃金等貴重金屬不同的是，你可以把農田租出去，用它來種莊稼或養牲畜。 |
