The Farmers Land Trust has developed a model for decommodifying farmland and placing it in community ownership. In addition to stewarding the creation of Farmland Commons—collectively held, locally rooted nonprofit land-holding entities—across the country, the Farmers Land Trust also provides guidance and free resources and tools for developing your own community land project from the ground up.
"Things feel overwhelming because we don’t even know where to begin. We don’t even know the first step of what to do to stop the harm, to begin to create opportunities for healing.
Here, in farmland ownership, the transition is underway. We don’t have to do anything to create it. It is happening.
We just need new models that are durable and sustainable and viable in the long term as options for some of the landowners.” - Ian
