New possibilities for farmland access beyond just ownership

In this episode we cover the vast topic of land access, while touching on the history of land privatization and how so many groups of people have been systematically removed from land access, how land has become increasingly unobtainable, especially for farmers, traditional models of common land access and how the Farmland Commons offers a modern legal template for equitable land access for farmers in the modern context.

We really take the time to go into specifics here as we explore case studies of non-profits that have setup Farmland Commons in their communities, how those legal entities are organized and maintained, and how the basic structure can be adapted to the unique needs and focus of the communities that they serve.
