Land is the foundation—but getting it? That’s where it gets complicated. In this session, community leaders share real stories of how they secured land for growing: the barriers, the breakthroughs, the policies, the partnerships, and the persistence. This isn’t theory—it’s lived experience. You’ll walk away with practical strategies, new pathways to explore, and proof that land access is possible when communities organize with vision and intention.
