Regenerative Land Projects ~ Our Priority

At cOMmon, our core focus is regenerative land projects. These are not just ideas or trends, they are vital, living solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges. We believe that healing the land is the starting point for healing everything else:the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the relationships we form, with each other and with ourselves.

That’s why regenerative land projects will always receive the most visibility, support, and love on our platform. Whether you're here to share your land, offer your skills, or learn by doing, this is where the real transformation begins.

🌱 What does a regenerative land project look like?

These projects come in many forms. Some are tiny plots of soil lovingly rebuilt from years of overuse. Others are full-scale farmsteads or forest sanctuaries reclaiming entire ecosystems. All share one goal: to restore vitality, resilience, and balance, in nature and in community.

Here are just a few types of regenerative land projects you’ll find on cOMmon:

🐛 Regenerative Agriculture Projects

• Building soil health with composting, cover crops, and rotational grazing

• Restoring biodiversity with native planting and natural pest control

• Implementing food forests and perennial systems

• Avoiding synthetic chemicals and supporting natural cycles

  
  

🏡 Eco-Building & Sustainable Housing

• Using local, natural materials (like cob, strawbale, hempcrete)

• Designing with passive solar, thermal mass, and water harvesting in mind

• Upcycling materials and minimizing waste

• Creating homes that breathe with the land instead of against it

🌾 Permaculture-Based Systems

• Designing landscapes that mimic natural ecosystems

• Zoning areas for food, community, and wildlife coexistence

• Integrating humans into the natural system instead of extracting from it

• Emphasizing multi-functionality (e.g., a tree that gives shade, fruit, and mulch)

🛠️ Restoration Projects

• Rewilding damaged land

• Cleaning polluted waterways

• Reviving abandoned spaces or rural areas with regenerative intention

• Creating seed banks, native nurseries, and wildlife corridors

🔄 Closed-Loop Living Spaces

• Treating graywater on site

• Composting toilets and nutrient cycling

• Producing energy from renewables

• Growing food where people live, work, and gather

  
  

While events and holistic businesses, like retreats, creative residencies, and eco-tourism hubs, can be part of a project, they are not the end goal. On cOMmon, we prioritize projects rooted in regeneration, not just hospitality or wellness. Events are expressions of the culture, but regeneration is the framework.

✨ Why This Matters

When you become part of cOMmon, you’re not just contributing to “a cool project.”You’re taking part in planetary repair.

Whether you’re a rootser nurturing a piece of land or a roamer bringing hands-on skills in agroforestry, natural building, or mycology, your participation is a vote for a future rooted in balance.

Together, we can:

• Bring damaged land back to life

• Feed communities from healthy soil

• Create homes and spaces that don’t extract, but give back

• Build meaningful relationships based on shared purpose and place

  
  

This is regeneration in action. This is the heart of cOMmon.
