Position Summary
Black farmers are losing their land across the country. In 1920, there were 949,889 Black farmers in the US (about 14% of farmers) but today there are just 45,508 Black farmers, or 1.3% of farmers. Nearly all remaining Black farmers are located in the Mid-Mississippi Delta, but 30-50% of southern Black-owned land is estimated to be owned through heirs’ property. And, insecure land tenure is the single leading cause of involuntary land loss among African Americans.
Heirs’ Property is the legal term for land that is owned by two or more people, usually people with a common ancestor who has died without leaving a will. Since Black land owners had less access to lawyers, and an understandable distrust of usually white lawyers, it used to be extremely common to leave land without a will. Over generations, this has meant land owned by far-flung descendants, some who do not even know they own the land – and it can lead to forced sales for all common owners if just one chooses to sell, leading to loss of land. While land is held under heirs’ property, farmers (or foresters) cannot access USDA programs and grants, take out loans to improve the land, and more. This results in a lack of opportunities for land management and wealth diminution over time.
While there are some small non-profits working with individuals to clear titles, this is very expensive and can take many years. It is not scalable. However, there are also well-funded land investment funds across the US looking to invest in farmland, improve it, often with a focus on sustainability improvements to drive value, and then sell it for a profit. We would like to explore whether there is a way to use farmland funds to address heirs’ property issues. For example, could a farmland trust work with Black farmers to purchase the land through some of the legal loopholes that exist, but in partnership with those farmers who are trying to clear their titles? This would bring immediate increased value to the land by clearing the title and the farmland trust could still make investments and improvements – but with legal protections and a financial structure that over time the land vests back to the original Black farmers to end up in wealth creation.
However, we are not sure if this is even possible. Is there enough value that could be created for the farmland trusts to be interested? Is there a way to ensure appropriate and strong protections for Black farmers? Can this be done in a short enough period to allow true wealth creation for Black farmers and their families while also achieving the goals of the farmland trust? What legal hurdles will prevent this and can they be overcome? There are numerous questions to answer to find out if this could even work.

Position Summary
The Senior Director of Innovation Start-Ups on the Markets Institute team is often taking broad ideas identified by the team and digging into them where appropriate to develop new business models and new business strategies across food and agriculture that are environmentally sustainable, socially impactful, and financially profitable so they can happen quickly and at scale. However, many of these ideas begin as just a few thoughts and need further vetting to determine which should become full-fledged projects. This internship will provide the chance to dig into a variety of food and agriculture topics and ultimately provide research, guidance, and advice on which should move forward for full support by the Markets Institute.
Here are a few example topics but we are currently updating this list so exact topics and number of topics will be updated and then ultimately co-determined with the intern to reflect the intern’s areas of interest and experience, WWF needs and interest, and how much information is even available for each idea.
Some identified topics for 2024 include:
- Innovative ways to make agricultural infrastructure and value-added processing more environmentally sustainable through new systems, new energy sources, integration with stranded assets, or other possibilities.
- New materials for packaging to reduce plastic use and/or innovative ways to make use of plastic waste for new products.
- Use of big data to predict consumer preferences for groceries/food companies to help reduce waste at farm level.
- An analysis of new businesses that are likely to develop due to climate change.
- Mycoremediation possibilities and use cases.
- As an offshoot of an existing project, as large-scale agriculture shifts out of California, what will happen to the Central Valley and other farming areas? What could we proactively consider to build something environmentally sustainable and economically supportive?
- Consumer carbon footprints around food choices and if/how consumers would make decisions based on this.
- Can a market for leather from invasive species be created for luxury brands to replace current exotic leathers? What would be the cost and population needs?
