delivered the 40th Annual E. F. Schumacher Lecture. He addressed the topic “Land as a Commons: Building the New Economy” with a lecture titled </span><span style="background-color:#EBE0D6;"><i>Private Sufficiency, Public Luxury: Land is the Key to the Transformation
of Society</i></span><span style="background-color:#EBE0D6;">. The virtual event was moderated by Jodie Evans and Greg Watson joined George Monbiot for a conversation following the lecture.</span></font></div>

talk</span><span style="background-color:white;"> was land access, the problems generated by a concentration of ownership, and ways of creating a more fair and equitable system. The Schumacher Center’s own response to the inequities in land access is to call
for a voluntary gifting of land into regional community land trusts where its use can be allocated through lease agreements in a socially determined manner outside of market forces.</span></span></font></div>
<div><font face="Century Schoolbook" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Monbiot was involved with this report/proposal that became part of the Labour platform and was distorted by the Tories to make voters believe they would lose their land. </span></font></div>
