Overview
Community encompasses the social, cultural, and relational fabric of people connected to an agrifood landscape, including Indigenous Peoples and/or local communities.
Social cohesion and cultural continuity influence how stewardship practices are maintained, trust is built, traditional knowledge transmitted, and collective action is sustained over time. These social dynamics shape the capacity of landscapes to maintain ecological functions and adapt across generations.
Resilient communities influence biodiversity, soil health, livelihoods, food security, and water management through collective action, knowledge sharing, and stewardship practice. Their strength shapes labor conditions, economic resilience, and governance systems, determining whether regenerative outcomes are sustained or eroded over time.
