Thank you Safar. I'm sorry I missed your question last week. The answer is yes! Your reporting on Incredible Edible is part of the inspiration for my current series of posts on land ownership!
Woot!! That's made me smile wide! I'll check those out, John. At home we've been talking about the Levellers and the Diggers, I forget the details historically so am re-researching the movement.
Did you see the post I wrote on cooperatives who are buying land in the UK and France as a way to improve land equity and food security? It was part of my food sovereignty posts. It's called Farms for the Future. I'll be interested to see your take on the issue.
That's great! I didn't have time to go further than I did with the post so have wondered how widespread land reclamation is. Slow travel these days! Looking forward to the reads.
P.S. You've just reminded me that I want to do a rewilding series at some point and there is a guy who has bought up a lot of land in Scotland solely for the purposes of re-wilding, taking it out of the hands of potential developers.

Yes! Something similar is happening local to me. That's where my series of posts is going.

Key line: "The family farm is a colonial concept"
Thanks, John, I will. I like that key line! Ooo, he has a great voice to listen to!
