New Rural School

Title : Lumbung Land School

The Lumbung Land was created as a working group to create a common lumbung interlokal economy on the long term. Since it’s inception we realise the importance of looking at land-based projects and economies as a political commitment to divest from the dependence of art as a services sector activity funded by public funds or the private market. The vision involves a form of care of the land as living support structure with whom we co-exist.

Several members in the lumbung have been working for many years in this direction and started to exchange their practices and knowledges on these approaches. As well as thinking on how each land can build an interdependent economy that is related to and in solidarity with local land projects of members. 


Lumbung Land School consist various collective activity to elaborate learning process around collective governance of land, and development models of land that start from community as well as the non-human needs and combine agriculture, biodiversity, culture and the spiritual. Also how to see ‘investment’ of the lumbung in specific pieces of land of members. What would be the return. Financial and/or non financial.
