Summary 

Despite land being central to our food system, many individuals and communities experience barriers to land ownership or access. Land Access Alliance is dedicated to improving access to farmland and foraging opportunities in Northeast Minnesota with a focus on resilience, fairness and sustainability. By fostering engagement with the land, we aim to help those who are passionate about growing and sharing local food succeed. 

Your participation in this survey will provide valuable insights to guide Land Access Alliance’s initiatives for a more equitable and resilient food system. Together, we can explore access to land and nutritious food as a universal right, not a privilege.
