Brainstorming strategies for acquiring land

This is a thread for usual, unusual, rare, and out of the box ways to acquire land. The main criteria is that the ideas must lead to land ownership, even if it involves leasing for a few years. In this case brainstorming means no idea is too crazy unless you're just being goofy.
Here goes:

Work a regular job and save aggressively
Start your dream business/job and save aggressively
Do anything that earns money and save
Partner with like minded folks and pool resources
Partner a person either with land or savings and:

rent to own

steward their property in exchange for a plot

pay them with a fair supply of food for a plot

build an eco home for them in exchange

some other work trade for a plot

Owner financed
Trade vehicle for plot
Sell vehicle and buy land
Rent land for farming operation and buy land with earnings
Inherit
Caretake and inherit
Partner with friends for any of the above
On a rented farm, ask loyal patrons to finance buying farm

Some of these could be added together.
