The world population in July 2007 is estimated to be 6,602,224,175.It is growing at a rate of 1 person per second!  By 2025 the population is estimated to be 8 billion.  Right now many millions of people are under fed daily – how will this be in 2025?  The demands of all products will rise at least concurrently with the population; i.e. 30% more population, 30% more food needed, 30% more fuel needed, and the list goes on. 

The world currently depends heavily upon non-renewable resources for energy and everyday products: - electricity, gasoline, and plastics.  The supply of oil is predicted to drop dramatically by 2020 as the current sources simply dry up. Different forms of energy will need to be utilized if humans want to continue their current way of life. 

Humans need protein, carbohydrate fats, oils, minerals, vitamins and water as part of their diet.  As cities grow and expand outwards swallowing up hectare after hectare of once highly productive farmland, the need becomes more intense to find large areas of climatically suitable food and energy producing land – Brazil’s interior. The total area of farm land is decreasing at a rate of 1Ha every 8 seconds, due to city growth and other environmental factors.  At the end of the day people still need to consume energy and food.  Hence Nova Brazilandia’s motto: “Necessary, Sustainable Growth”.

In a recent study by Nature World Fund, it was noted that in the last few years the increase in the world’s population is rapidly exhausting the environmental resources and agricultural lands.  This is predominantly due to continuous economic expansion, which demands the use of huge amounts of these environmental resources.  The speed of economic expansion is surpassing nature’s self-restoration capacity by 30%.  In the year 2025 with the world’s predicted population to be in excess of 8 billion, these agricultural producing resources will be extremely valuable – not only for survival.  As seen now, anywhere in the world, near a population center productive pieces of land are extremely valuable, and Brazil is routinely following suit.  The price of land is appreciating rapidly and simply to own land in a good area such as Western Bahia is a good investment for agricultural production, let alone for real estate investment.  And this is the second most important factor Nova Brazilandia looks at when purchasing land - the resale ability of this land because there is a great profit to be made from the real estate alone.  The number one factor we look for is the quality of the land and the rainfall.
