Farmland Access & Ownership: An Overview of Barriers, Models, and Actions to Increase Land Access for Connecticut’s BIPOC Farmers
CLCC, in partnership with the CT Department of Agriculture (CT DoAg), developed this report to address a critical challenge facing our state’s agricultural industry: ensuring equitable access to secure farmland for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers.
Through stakeholder insights, this report explores the challenges faced by BIPOC farmers, examines different collaborative land access models including those focused on land trusts, and proposes strategic actions to promote secure land access and ownership opportunities.
