Curious to engage with people who are currently using land trusts to create more equitable economies. ---

Interesting! I lost about 15 mins finding out about the history of land trusts on the Wikipedia page 😃 > **[Land trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_trust)** > > Land trusts are nonprofit organizations which own and manage land, and sometimes waters. There are three common types of land trust, distinguished from one another by the ways in which they are legally structured and by the purposes for which they are organized and operated: > In the United States, the land owned by the United States government and held in trust for Native American tribes and individuals is sometimes referred to as a land trust. > In Australia, Aboriginal land trusts are a type o... ---

There are some really fascinating projects in this space that are combining land trusts with permaculture ecovillage projects and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). Here’s an introduction video to one of them (Salt Cross Garden Village, led by Charlie Fisher of a UK Collaborative Housing Group) > **[Salt Cross Garden Village - Introduction for the Regen Civics Accelerator](https://odysee.com/@cohohub:4/RegenCivicsIncubator:c)** > > Application video to the Regen Civics Accelerator. ---

Thanks for posting this topic, David - it’s something I’m _very_ interested in and have been diving deep since I first spent time on a family farm that was placed into a land trust. One thing I’ve learned is that there is a crucial distinction between land trust projects: - **Ownership** : The majority of land trusts still retain the title dee, in one format or another - **Stewardship** : A tiny percentage of land trusts commit in perpetuity the land to regeneration, and the title deed can essentially be disposed of because the property can never again be sold and/or developed. I am **only** interested in the latter, and we’re working on a tokenization project to unlock value flows for these type of land trusts. I can either post updates here or we can establish a sub-topic specifically for Land _Stewardship_ Tokens. Anyone interested in that? ---

Hey mbh! I’d love to learn more about why to tokenize. I’ve seen a lot of talk about it and feel so naive to it all. If there’s a chat going on about it, I’d love to learn more! ---

Hi all, I am sharing this interesting [book](https://mayflybooks.org/future-for-all-a-vision-for-2048/) shared during my Economics of Degrowth class today - looking at how our social and economic system could look like by 2048 ---

Thanks for sharing this. I downloaded it and read it and it aligns very much with the worlds that I create in my optimistic future fiction! It is great to see that there are other idealists in the world that think along similar lines. I would love to see this kind of thing shared more widely because I think it makes people think about new possibilities. ---

You teach Degrowth Economics? That’s so cool! Is there anywhere I can find out more? ---

@nelacadi If you’re enjoying this topic, I really recommend the book _Digital Degrowth_ which came out just this year! It takes “degrowth theory” and applies it to the present global monopoly that Big Tech has on all of our lives, all over the world! A fascinating spin on the topic, if ever there was one! Highly highly recommend! > **[Digital Degrowth](https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745349862/digital-degrowth/)** > > 'A fascinating book that takes degrowth in new directions' - Jason Hickel, author of Less is More > > > 'A must-read for anyone who wants to know the brut...
