Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Dear Prabhus Continuing our discussions on ISKCON land use Free land rent for cow protectors. 1. Maintaining goshala oxen.Assuming somebody wants to work land with oxen from an existing goshala, then they should get the neccessary land to maintain the oxen without any rent. In the Uk that would be about 2.5 acres (assuming 0.5 acres for grain). Any further land use would require some token rental arrangement. 2. First and second year of use no rent required to get started. 3. Farming equipment could be rented from the goshala at a reasonable rate, thus taking away the burden of high start up costs for the prospective oxpowered farmer. 4.In some scenarious it may be better to have housing dealt with seperately from land. Land use is bound by agricultural pracice. Housing is bound by ownership and/or rental policy. As a village develops some of the residents will not be strict HK's, thus the village space should be clearly not part of the visitor areas. It is a private space. A space the larger communities should allocate for especially those who are contributing to the agricultural and cow protection areas. 5. If ISKCON can give a livlihood base and a house for its members then it is more likely to succed in getting land based industries off the ground. This can be acheived by very liberal housing policies and practically give away land rent. 6. As the agricultural sector becomes successful then the rent can be adjusted to a win win scenario in consultation with the land holders and the ministery of Agriculture and Cow Protection. Right now ISKCON should be super generous and supportive of the land based devotees.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 There are a lot of good points to this proposal. I think it's important to work in two more points somehow or other: 1. The devotee who would be eligible for this must provide evidence of adequate training and experience. 2. There needs to be some type of periodic review board for the first couple years, so that the community can make sure that this is actually someone they want in this position. Much easier to take care of things through a regular, pre-announced process than when a community decides they don't like someone, and then they have to devise weird social or political reasons to get him out. Best to have a regular, above-board review system. After say 3 years, perhaps the farmer can be granted some kind of tenure so that he is confident that he has a fairly permanent land base. your servant, Hare Krsna dasi "COM: Syamasundara (das) (Bhaktivedanta Manor - UK)" wrote: > [Text 3022530 from COM] > > Dear Prabhus > Continuing our discussions on ISKCON land use > > Free land rent for cow protectors. > > 1.
