We are creating collective knowledge about the impacts of working with land for the common good and the complex challenges of building sustainable relationships between people and land.
Our research supports the development of a strong movement of common good land stewards by capturing their impact, identifying their potential and understanding their challenges. We work with practitioners to help them develop and share their knowledge and expertise with their peers and with decision makers.
We know that people involved in practical projects are often too busy to do research or use it to deepen their impact. By fundraising for and coordinating research on common good land use and stewardship, we are building an evidence base to inform action, improve practice, and influence policy and funding to create new opportunities for practitioners. By working collaboratively we aim to strengthen local and national networks and to inform and bolster our collective advocacy.
Find out more about our approach through the links at the bottom of this page, or email us for a chat at research@sharedassets.org.uk.
By undertaking research in both these spheres, we seek to create the conditions in which people using or stewarding land for the common good can thrive, through making an impact at a local and a systemic level.
