Emprius in “La Vanguardia”

Recently Rosa M. Tristán, a journalist, got in touch with us, and we explained what we do at Emprius.

She wrote about it in a longer piece on land banks published in La Vanguardia:

Bancos de tierras, la solución frente al abandono rural que evitaría desastres ambientales#

“We back food sovereignty and fighting land hoarding, and we want it all to happen collectively, like it did in past rural assemblies that are fading away, though they survive in some places — Galician councils and some Pyrenees and northern areas.”
“Their goal is building communal culture. Like the previous one, they take in donations and land bequests which they then hand to projects that fit their principles, run through ‘radical’ democratic management, agroecology, land regeneration and feminism.”
“Fighting market forces and securing land gifts isn’t easy, even when land sits unused.”
