Community Farm Land Trusts are a type of Community Land Trust (CLT). These are established as a mechanism for the democratic ownership of land (and property) by a local community.

Community Farm Land Trusts are established primarily for the purpose of sustainable agriculture and horticulture, controlled by and for the benefit of local communities. They:

• Provide a mechanism for the democratic ownership of land
• Ensure permanently affordable access to farms for farmers
• Retain farmland for farming, horticulture and related enterprise
• Allow  community access, and range of benefits
