In June the Connecticut Department of Agriculture (CT DoAg), in partnership with Connecticut Land Conservation Council (CLCC), released “Farmland Access & Ownership: An Overview of Barriers, Models, and Actions to Increase Land Access for Connecticut’s BIPOC Farmers."
CT DoAg engaged with CLCC to conduct the study and publish the report which looks at challenges and barriers to farmland access and ownership, as well as examining different cooperative models, focused on land trusts and publicly owned lands in urban and suburban areas.
The report, prepared by Yaw Owusu Darko, Senior Project Specialist Connecticut Land Conservation Council, speaks of the incredible work the CT BIPOC community is doing to advance food and land sovereignty throughout the state and region.
