"Meant to uphold the intellectual property of land stewards and support a commitment to the long-term collaborative wellbeing of the land we all rely on...
setting forth shared principles and expectations to hold individuals accountable to working with land stewards in a responsible manner and stewarding their data reliably and securely"
In parallel (& potentially convergent with) similar work here on the #fediverse, in support of self-determination and solidarity...
#OpenTEAM (Open Technology Ecosystem for Agricultural Management) collaborators have been building a supportive community & technology ecosystem for #RegenerativeAgriculture.

A while back I and others here and at social.coop discussed the possibility of a "study-into-action" group exploring open tech enabled solidarity food systems. I'm hoping we can pursue that in part through Prosocial Commons. They're using hylo.com as one shared platform, something #OpenTEAM are also developing (https://community-platform-collabathon.webflow.io/)
I've spoken with hylo and OT folks and they're interested in collaborating with us (including Open Food Network) once OT launches their hylo platform in April...
