TIAA out of Farmland

TIAA is a retirement fund that manages $1.3 trillion for 5 million college and university faculty and staff, as well as non-profit workers and teachers. TIAA is also the largest institutional owner of industrial farmland and timberland, with millions of acres for extractive agribusiness on four continents.
