Transforming Land Relations: the Key to Agroecological Change

Land and property relations determine who lives where, who produces what, and who benefits from land use, with major ecological and social consequences. The food movement desires transformation โ€“ this requires a deep change in land relations. But the way property is currently organised in the UK makes this extremely difficult. Private and corporate owners hold vast (and growing) amounts of power over land use; while many aspiring and existing agroecological farmers and urban consumers are united by their landlessness. This session explains why revolutionising land relations is necessary, and provides some ideas for ways forward.
