What this Commons knows so far, woven into one read from Thoughtful Offerings. Offer something you know and where it comes from; once three members vouch for it, it's woven in.

Communities can pool their money to buy farmland, keep it off the speculative market for good, and lease it affordably to new ecological farmers.

What we know

Farmland can be held in common by the people who care about it. When citizens pool their money to buy land, that land is taken off the speculative market permanently.¹

What works

A community-owned farmland trust leases its land on long, affordable terms. This gives new ecological farmers a secure place to start growing.¹

Open questions

There is not yet any detail on where community farmland trusts have been set up or what results they have had. Examples from real places and projects would help others learn from them.¹
