Land Access & Racial Equity: Creating an Agrarian Commons

Aug 07, 2018 • Agrarian Commons, Commons Alliance, Land Access Strategies, Land Justice and Equity • By Agrarian Trust

How do we cooperatively own and steward land for food sovereignty, soil and ecosystem health, community benefit, service to the watershed, and more? Agrarian Trust’s proposed method is a new form (legal, cultural, and financial) of land ownership to support land access for the next generation of farmers, and we make the path by walking it.

Perhaps we can skip the violence and tragedy and blowback and move directly to restitution: reparations for damage sustained.
