Just as access to land depends on community in some form, community often depends on and derives its vitality from a group’s relationship to land. Communities #182 highlights the interdependence of our selves, our human communities, and the lands which steward (and are stewarded by) our presence. This issue shares stories about how intentional community projects can gain access to land. It asks provocative questions about land, people, privilege, and the obstacles that prevent communities (particularly disadvantaged communities) from reconnecting to land―and offers inspiring stories of overcoming those barriers to achieve more equity and sustainability.
