Farmer Jeroen van Steen gives his farmland back to the earth. For a healthier society and a more equal society. “The sky and sun belong to everyone. Why is the earth divided into compartments? That’s actually quite weird,” says former dairy farmer Jeroen van Steen. “I own land because I have been lucky in my life. The luck that I was allowed to take over my parents-in-law’s farm. The luck that I have a body that can work hard. The huge increase in land prices is not to my credit. It did give me a lot. That’s not right. That only widens the disparities in society. I thought: what can I do myself to change the system?”
Donating land however is not that straightforward, and to give away land quite substantial costs have to be made. Although this project is not (directly) connected to Climate Cleanup Foundation, we wholeheartedly support Jeroen and this movement. We can now help make it happen for Thuishaven, a beautiful place in Flevoland. Be sure to watch the video. And if it appeals to you, please donate.
