Aardpeer, together for land is a movement created by TRMC, BD Grondbeheer, Wij.land and Herenboeren in order to safeguard agricultural land (and soil vitality) for future generations.
One of the first activities of the movement was the issue of a 5-year and 10-year AFM approved Bond. Circa Eur7m was subscribed thus far mainly by many small investors.
Proceeds of the bond issue are used to extractagricultural land from the speculative market which drives up prices, leading to unsustainable farming practices.
Triodos Regeneratie Money Centre believes access to affordable land is a leverage point for the transition to a resilient natural capital environment.
