Key messages
Historically, Australian farmers own the land they farm. Given that a large capital cost is associated with land purchase, businesses may seek non-ownership options.
Alternatives to buying or selling agricultural land do exist.
Leasing and share farming agreements are the most commonly utilised alternatives in Australia but still play a relatively minor role.
