The Scottish Farm Land Trust aims to increase access to land for small-scale, ecological agriculture by purchasing land to be held in trust and rented fairly to new entrants and young people.

SFLT present results from feasibility study
27th September 6-8pm 


Along with Gail Ross MSP we invite you to join us at the Scottish Parliament to hear the results of our feasibility study research and speakers from successful land trusts in Europe.

Research for our study revealed that hundreds of people are actively looking for farmland in Scotland, and are motivated by looking after the environment and developing rural livelihoods. However, access to land is a critical barrier.  A lack of access to land is preventing people from making a sustainable livelihood from the land and something practical needs to be done!


Picture
We think that thing is a Scottish Farm Land Trust. According to Scotland's Land Reform Act, we are working for 'a Scotland where the ownership, management and use of land and buildings contributes to the collective benefit of everybody’. A land trust could help facilitate a transformation of how we use our land, and support farming in Scotland that provides nutritious food for local people, sustains rural communities, contributes to healthy ecosystem and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
 
On 27th September, we’ll be joined by speakers who have successfully established land trusts in Europe, and local farmers who are farming for social and environmental benefit. You’ll also be able to pick up a copy of our forthcoming report 'Wanted: Land for New Farmers' which puts forward the case for a land trust in Scotland to increase access to land for ecological agriculture.

Farming is one of the best experiences in life. During the time when I was still living with my aunt and uncle in the fields of Firenze, Italy, I help with harvesting different kinds of vegetables in the backyard. The vegetables found in the backyard includes carrots, chilis, corn, Roma tomatoes, celery, onions, thyme, basil, olives, etc. We also have fruit-bearing trees such as oranges, lemons, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries, apples, and even pineapple. Our garden was a festival of flavors used in different dishes.
