Community Land Trusts and the Preservation of Land

You can find the video version of the interview here where I've cut the interview with some film I took while at TDF.

In this episode I spoke to Sam Delesque (@samueldelesque), founder of Traditional Dream Factory (TDF), a regenerative village based in Abela, Portugal that is blending crypto with permaculture and community. TDF is the first village part of OASA, a Swiss non-profit to help regenerative villages turn into community land trusts.

During the interview we discussed we talked about Sam's vision for TDF and OASA as DAOs, our time there during ReFi Week, and how they are regenerating the land. If you have the opportunity I'd recommend going to TDF in Portugal and seeing it for yourself by booking a stay. If you support the vision then you can do a donation subscription here.
