Did you know the first community land trust was designed to steward farmland? Since the founding of New Communities in 1969, community land trusts have continued to be successful vehicles for shared farmland stewardship.
In Soil-darity is designed to dig deep into the transformative potential of community-owned farmlands. It is a first time collaboration between the Canadian Network of Community Land Trusts and the National Farmers Foundation, with support from the Catherine Donnelly Foundation.
The webinar series explores innovative and time-tested models of alternative farmland tenures that prioritize community-based stewardship, equitable access, and long-term sustainability. In Soil-darity aims to inspire and inform, demonstrating how these models can usher in a new age of equitable and sustainable agriculture.
