Land for the Many

How can we support the fairer distribution of ownership and access to land across the UK, and what would that mean for farmers and landworkers? Do current tax incentives encourage the consolidation of farms? Why are the world’s wealthiest buying our farmland as a tax-efficient asset or status symbol rather than as a place to produce food, and how does this impact farm succession and new entrants to farming?

Join us as we consider some of the proposals to challenge and change the vast inequality of UK land ownership made in the recent ‘Land for the Many’ report, commissioned by Labour. We hope to cover taxation, planning, access rights, county farms and more.
