ALPA’s mission revolves around securing and stewarding land in our bioregion for its primordial purpose: sustaining life. Recognising the complex dynamics and potential conflicts in land use, ALPA identifies and addresses critical issues:

• Degradation through Industrial Farming: ALPA promotes agroecology as a solution to combat soil nutrient depletion, biodiversity loss, and the harmful impact of agro-chemicals.
• Land Sealing and Uprooting: To counter the threats posed by mining and energy projects, ALPA advocates for land conservation strategies and putting importance and proof behind the richness of our biodiversity.
• Abandonment by Peasantry: ALPA addresses the challenges of an aging rural community and the lack of intra-family farm succession through the establishment of a bioregional Land Trust and social mapping initiatives, mobilising and supporting future agroecological farmers to access land.
• Opaque Land Market and Tenure: ALPA aims to enhance transparency and traceability through digitalized public land registries, collaborative spatial planning, and strategic land preservation to counterbalance large-scale industrial projects.
• Transactional Nature of Land: ALPA combats land speculation and marginalization of cultural aspects by establishing a bioregional Land Trust driven by social-cultural and environmentally rooted principles, elevating land out from the land commodity market, putting it into the reach of human-scale, local agroecological farming, engaging in community building, and promoting alternative tourism projects.
