	Back to the land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There was also a segment within the movement who already had a familiarity with rural life and farming, who already had many skills, and who wanted land of their own on which they could demonstrate that organic farming (rather than conventional) could be made practical and economically successful.
		A factor that came into play was the increased cost of rural land parcels; at the start of the back-to-the-land trend, previously low demand for rural properties in many areas meant that they fetched low prices in the real estate market, but this changed after some years of increased buyer interest.

	Earth Meanders: Back to the Land
		If land is to continue providing humans their habitat, a profound shift is needed in how we relate to land and all nature.
		In areas where land is managed as gardens, there is great potential to create agricultural ecosystems that are resilient, stable and sustainable, and which are integrated with natural ecosystems.
		I was raised there by parents that had gone back to the land to homestead.

	Back to the Land. An essay on the Land Problem.
		The land of Ireland would at this moment still be in its original state of nature had it not been drained, cleared, reclaimed and fertilised by the enormous outlay of labour and capital which has been expended on it by the people of the present and their forefathers in past generations.
		I have already shown that the land of every country is the public property of the people of that country, and consequently, that its exclusive appropriation by a class is a substantial injustice and wrong done to every man in that country», whom it robs of his fair share of the common inheritance.
		I have already observed that the chief peculiarity of the land of a country was that its value was never stationary, that it was always progressive and rising, that in fact it increased in a direct ratio with the growth of the population and the advancing progress of the industry of the nation.

	Thomas Nulty / Back To The Land
		The system of Land Tenure in Ireland enjoyed a long and similarly prosperous career, and it, too, has created a state of human existence, which, in strict truth and justice, can be briefly characterised as the twin sister of slavery.
		When grazing on land had been found more remunerative than tillage, and the people consequently became too numerous, the superfluous multitudes, who were now no longer wanted under the new state of things, were mercilessly cleared off the lands by wholesale evictions to make room for the brute beast, which paid better.
		Thus has this land system actually exercised the power of life and death on a vast scale, for which there is no parallel even in the dark records of slavery.

	Subsistence Homesteads
		On the negative side likewise the administration's legislative and administrative measures indicate that it is opposed to the old policy of increasing the numbers engaged in the acreage given over to commercial farming, as well as to the further development and concentration of population in industrial centers.
		The establishment of subsistence homesteads is, however, one of the positive indications that we are actually on the eve of a new land and population policy.
		Enough funds were raised locally at the outset to acquire possession of the land, to repair the old farm buildings, to purchase a tractor, and even before any building operations began, to enable the families selected to plant gardens, buy milk goats and establish flocks of chickens.

	The Head Heeb: Back to the land
		An IRIN report focuses on the Ugandan government land grants being given to surrendered Lord's Resistance Army fighters:
		In addition to being an incentive to surrender, the land grants are seen as a method of rehabilitating the child soldiers, many of whom have been rejected by their own villages for their role in LRA atrocities.
		Like many land-grant programs in Africa, this one has potential pitfalls, and could fail if the ex-soldiers are given insufficient training and equipment or are provided with economically unviable plots, but in concept it seems like a humane way to resettle the demobilized children.
