Access to Land

Covers resources on securing land for agroecological farming, land stewardship, and fair land policies.

Understanding french local instruments for the regulation of agricultural land

France uses a dense set of local rules and institutions to shape who can buy, lease, and farm agricultural land. A new DEFIBIO project note outlines how tools like SAFER’s market oversight, the control of farm structures, and regional SDREA priority rules interact in practice.
