Danny Thomas, a key figure at LAWD since 2021, has facilitated approximately A$2.3 billion in agricultural investments in Australia. His extensive network connects large-scale farmers and global investors, transforming access to investment opportunities. The investment landscape has evolved, with institutional investors like AIMCo and New Agriculture seeking direct engagement and transparency. Recent trends highlight a surge in irrigated agriculture, driven by favorable water conditions, and a succession crisis, as aging farmers sell their properties. LAWD’s growth strategy includes expanding its development arm, capitalizing on the increasing demand for irrigated assets and addressing generational changes in farming.
