Agrarian Trust is securing land for farmers while supporting locally governed land holding entities advancing cultural, ecological, and economic justice.
The Agrarian Commons are designed to hold land in community-centered entities that remain accountable to the community through a board structure that includes farmers, community members and Agrarian Trust representatives. These Agrarian Commons will hold land to convey affordable and equitable leases for the purpose of regenerative farming for secure local food access, ecological sustainability, and community benefit.
Agrarian Commons interrupt patterns of dispossession and land ownership consolidation, by connecting next generation farmers with land tenure and affordable leases.
80 acres of land were gifted to Black farmers in Central Virginia, decommodifying and stewarding it with the next generations in mind. This land project includes the gifted land as well as a 5-acre urban plot to support growing fresh, healthy food by and for the local community.
