Leverage the Innovative Farmland Commons Model to Ignite Regeneration

Now, an unprecedented opportunity arises before us: the chance to make a positive impact on the transition of roughly 400,000,000 acres of farmland, set to change hands through sale or inheritance in the next two decades. This immense transfer of wealth ranks among the largest the world has ever witnessed, and the way this land is transferred and managed holds greater significance than ever before.

We are hosting this workshop to help expand our view of how land and people can work together to create more regenerative and equitable outcomes.

This workshop will:

• Offer insights into the history and perspective of Conservation and Community Land Trusts
• Familiarize you with the innovative Farmer’s Land Trust model
• Present the framework and specifics of the land trust model addressing ownership, tenure, stewardship, and equity within the Farmland Commons
• Explore pathways for sellers, buyers, Regenerative Real Estate practitioners, and the land to connect, collaborate, and mutually benefit

This workshop is tailored for individuals who:

• Have a connection to land and finances
• Work as realtors
• Own land
• Provide funding for land-related projects
• Advocate for land-related causes
• Are involved in the transaction and transition of land
• Seek to shift their focus from transactions to community-centered land relationships.

Kindly extend invitations to your colleagues so that together, we can support the efforts of The Farmer’s Land Trust. By doing so, we aim to address historical injustices, explore avenues to de-commodify land, and foster a conversation where equitable access and regenerative land management practices can flourish.
