Episode 61 - Creative Farmland Protection

from Regeneration Rising Hosted by Regeneration Rising

In this episode, host Kristina chats with Kristina Villa and Ian McSweeney, co-founders and co-executive directors of The Farmers Land Trust. The Farmers Land Trust is a national nonprofit that directly engages with farmland protection and land access for farmers by accepting farm and land donations and then creating and supporting Farmland Commons, which are nonprofit landholding entities that are rooted in place and governed by local communities. We discuss the farmland commons model, current trends around land access, creative solutions, success stories, and resources. Hear more from the folks at the farmers land trust at our REGENERATE Conference coming up in Santa Fe on October 28 as they host a workshop around the farm land commons model.
