Team
To create regenerative food systems that support just, vibrant, healthy communities, our system of farmland ownership has to change.
Agrarian Trust catalyzes support for next-generation farmers by working with communities to acquire and steward land for equitable access, cultural reconnection, regenerative agriculture, and ecological restoration.
Together, we’re rebuilding our food system from the ground up.
Transition Team
In 2023, Agrarian Trust transitioned our leadership and outlined a new course for our organization. We sought out Co-Directors to guide and refine our approach to equitable land access and a democratic staff culture.
After an extensive search, we welcomed two Co-Directors:
LaShauna Austria, founder, Seeds of Change Consulting
Jean Willoughby, founder, Health Equity Resources & Education
LaShauna and Jean worked together to help cultivate a new team structure and contribute to a transition plan at Agrarian Trust. This has supported us as we’ve moved toward becoming a worker self-directed nonprofit inspired by our wonderful colleagues at the Sustainable Economies Law Center and the Nonprofit Democracy Network.
We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made and look forward to welcoming four new staff to join our team.
