FARMLAND OWNERSHIP
AND PRESERVATION
What does ownership really mean? Farmland preservation may require creatively breaking down and parsing out the bundle of rights associated with ownership.
LAND USE
AND STEWARDSHIP
How do we use our lands? Do we steward the land as a living, regenerating resource, or treat it as a commodity? Looking toward the future opens the door for a real conversation about sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
COMMUNITY
BUILDING
How do we define community and the farm’s relationship to it? As integral parts of natural and human communities, farms that build relationships with these stakeholders can add to their strength and resilience.
FARM SUCCESSION
PLANNING
Who’s next to farm this land, and how best to prepare? The who, how, when and why of these transitions is key to preserving value for future generations.
