Farming on 'Public' Lands - Highs and Lows
Manage episode 449625252 series 3379081
Within the Canadian context, ‘public’ lands refers to lands a government has first jurisdiction over – like a park, or ‘crown land’. In this understanding, the ‘people’ of that nation are the first (human) stakeholders who should be considered when making decisions on that land. S&G wanted to find those very few public land scenarios in Canada where food growing was the main consideration, and to hear from those who are farming there – the perks, the oversight, what was possible and what still needs dreaming up.
There is so much potential here – from hydro corridors, to park land, to those strips of grass between ‘private’ property and public infrastructure that a government oversees, where we could be growing food, closer to home, with more hands involved.
We were excited about this one, and we hope you are too!
