By providing long-term land security for farmers, ranchers, and stewards in the form of low-cost 99-year equitable leases, the Farmland Commons are freeing those who steward the land from the burdens of unfair market rate rents and high-cost mortgages.

Sometimes, the biggest threat to farmland is a homeowner. Someone who wants the pastoral setting but who isn't a farmer.

It's time for land trusts to do more than solely conserve land. It's time for land trusts to go further and to use their power and positionality to foster human connection to land, and community resilience through land stewardship.

That's what we're here to do.

There is no regulatory or legal definition for #RegenerativeAgriculture and there are countless definitions from organizations all over the world that provide differing language for what the term means to them.

But we can all agree that we wish more people were doing it.

ELK! We are talking about ELK, not PEOPLE. And Congress gave them LAND.

Imagine if hungry people,
Food insecure people,
People on food stamps,
People in food apartheids,
People in food swamps,
We're given land to grow food on.

The commoditization of land is a cycle that keeps the land getting more expensive each time and available to fewer and fewer people.

Farmland that comes into the commons is protected from ever being bought and sold on the speculative market again.

Using existing legal structures in creative and new ways, the Farmland Commons puts agricultural land in the ownership and control of communities.

Land justice has three important components:

1. protecting land from extraction;

2. regenerating the health of the land and ecosystems;

3. and expanding land equity to Black, Indigenous, and other dispossessed communities.

Our work is only possible when landowners are ready to let go of land and transition it to the next generation of farmers at a donation or discounted/ bargain sale price.

If you own land, you have the power to decide who owns that land after you do.

Choose a new future.

We have to start doing things in new and different ways to make this work.
The future of farmland, farmers, and food depends on it.
Our futures depend on it.

Land that grows food for community should be a community resource.
