Building Personal Wealth Within a Collaborative Land Access Project Webinar

Presenter: Nicole L. Tommell, Cornell Cooperative Enterprise Program & Northeast Cooperative Council

Collaborative efforts often deemphasize building wealth based on the increasing value of land. Therefore, farmers involved in these projects need to proactively plan alternate strategies for building personal wealth. 

For this session we define wealth as:

• quality of life; 
• ability to balance work and family life;
• ability to provide adequate support for family’s health, education, and overall wellbeing; 
• ability to retire and age comfortably, while leaving something behind for heirs.
