Wealth is more than money; it includes community resources, social networks, and physical assets. Land ownership is a significant generator of wealth in the U.S.; however, many lack access to acquiring land. This issue disproportionately impacts Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities. Throughout history, racist systems have denied historically excluded communities continuous land ownership, which hinders these communities from accruing individual and generational wealth. Alternative means of land ownership help create a more equitable system by supporting community needs related to both agriculture and conservation.
