Thanks for your essay. You may be interested in a book that a group of @ 2,500 of us crowd-funded a couple of years ago called Skills & Knowledge to Inherit Property (SKIP, as in skip the rat race) --it is a comprehensive list of the skills you need to have in order to run a farm/ranch according to permaculture/regenerative principles. Once you make your way through this list and create a portfolio demonstrating mastery, you can be put on a list to be matched with farmers/ranchers who are ready to retire but whose families are not interested in taking up the mantle & the farmers/ranchers still want their land to continue to be productive & well-stewarded. This matching service aims to bridge the gap between aging farmers and people motivated to work the land, but who are priced out of the market. More info at: www.permies.com.
