The USDA National Agricultural Library is hosting a free three-part series on alternative land ownership models.
Please feel free to share this information with any students, fellows, or instructors/professors you think may be interested.
The series includes:
Transitional Lands: Farm to Forest - September 1 - 2:00 pm ET
Emerging Land Ownership Models: Agrarian Commons - September 22 - 2:00 pm ET
Equitable Land Access: Resources & Tools - September 29 - 2:00 pm ET
Please visit the Eventbrite pages (linked above) to learn more about each session and register.
Land access issues disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities.
Throughout history, racist systems have denied historically excluded communities from continuous land ownership, which hinders these communities from accruing individual and generational wealth.
Alternative means of land ownership help create a more equitable system by supporting community needs related to both agriculture and conservation.
Through this series, we will highlight several emerging models and share information and resources related to these alternative systems.
This series is free and open to the public, please register for each installment on Eventbrite. The registration confirmation email will include a Zoom for the event.
I seem to remember something about 40 acres and a mule given out after the War of Northern Aggression.
Communism via “reparations”.
Notice this is directed at professors and not actual farmers.
Plank #1 of the Communist Manifesto: Abolition of private property rights.
The Communists are weaponizing every single major right we
have in this nation.
Here it’s land rights.
We already know what they have in mind for our guns.
I’m wondering what are “alternative land ownership models.”
No. The Indians put their land into tribal trust administered by the US Federal Government. In my neck of the woods the tribes are on a land buying spree, after all they have money trees.
Land is designated fee (taxed) and trust (untaxed). The tribes buy land outside of the rez, pay taxes 5 years then they petition the Feds to list the property as trust.
It really hurts the local public schools when fee land goes into trust since the schools are funded by property tax. Meanwhile, the tribes send their children to the public schools for free. Many more affluent tribes are starting their own Indian schools.

Expanding the rez and they also venture out into cities and do the same thing in a commercial district. No taxes no building codes no competition. Especially in the warehouse/distribution networks.

There is no more America.
Zimbabwe economic model.
This worked so well in early 20th century Russia, and we can do it even better!
I think that they tried alternative land ownership models in Zimbabwe. Seems to me it involved taking the land away from farmers that were white and giving the farms to people who were black. That didn’t work out so well for the white farmers. It ended up not working so well for Zimbabwe either. Surprisingly it turned out that melanin alone does not produce good farmers. Who could have seen that coming? Maybe they just didn’t do it right that time.
