“And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;”
When you have entered the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it, and settled in it — the liturgical law assumes Israel's settlement in Canaan and the agricultural cycle that will follow. The firstfruits ceremony marks the transition from wilderness to cultivated land.
