How will farmers access capital to finance their operations and investments?
Agrarian Trust understands that barriers to accessing capital are unjust in the United States presently and the situation is only getting more difficult, and the Agrarian Commons model makes it more complicated to borrow using land as collateral. Part of the philanthropic and investment money being raised to support the model is going towards the creation of a revolving capital fund which lessees will be able to utilize directly for farm viability, renewable energy production and efficiencies, and soil and ecological health investment. More information can be learned through contacting Foodshed Capital which Agrarian Trust has developed this fund with.
