Land Linking & Farmland Conservation (Workshop Recordings)
Our Land Linking & Farmland Conservation workshops started as a way to bring people with land (“land-holders”) together with people looking for land (“land-seekers”) and to explore what it means to share land to grow food.
As the series has grown, the workshops became a means to support farmers in the start-up and throughout their careers, and serve as resources to help farmers get on the land.
With thanks to the McLean Foundation and the Gosling Foundation, the National Farmers Union – Ontario and the Ontario Farmland Trust held 10 workshops, on a variety of topics. Some of the workshops were recorded, and are compiled here in a video playlist.
