Holistic Land Matching

January 20, 20262 min read

Helping Landowners & Seekers Find Each Other

At 3LM, we educate people to manage land holistically — yet too often, the right landowners and landseekers take months or years to find each other, and good regenerative opportunities quietly slip away.

This is why we are recommending Abunda to the 3LM community.

Abunda is the world’s first holistic land matching service, purpose-built to connect people who want to regenerate land through aligned partnerships. Their process reflects what we know to be true: successful regeneration depends not only on land and enterprises, but on shared Holistic Contexts, sound business thinking, and healthy human relationships.

A strong example is Wordley Farm in Worcestershire. Wordley has been managing holistically for several years and is Ecological Outcome Verified. As the landholders prepare for the next phase of stewardship, they are seeking partners to develop stacked enterprises — such as pastured poultry or woodland pigs — while continuing to regenerate soils, biodiversity, and livelihoods. This is exactly the type of farm, and the type of opportunity, that Abunda is designed to support.

From our perspective, this fills a real and recurring need:

  • Landowners regularly ask us how to find partners who genuinely understand holistic management and regeneration.

  • Participants in our training often seek land opportunities where they can offer their skills, energy, and enterprise ideas in alignment with those same principles.

Abunda exists to bridge this gap — carefully, transparently, and with patience for the long-term relationships regeneration requires.

For landseekers

Abunda is always free to join. If you are trained, motivated, and looking for aligned land opportunities, sign-up for their next Open Landseeker Consultation.

For landowners

If you have a regenerative vision for your land and are considering bringing in partners or new enterprises, Abunda offers a free introductory consultation to explore whether land matching could support your goals.

Scope

Abunda is currently focused on the UK, with plans to expand into other countries as they continue to refine and strengthen their approach. We’re sharing this now so both our UK and Ireland communities can see what’s emerging — and what may soon be possible closer to home.

We see Abunda as a natural ally to the 3LM community — helping good people find each other sooner, so regeneration can move forward with clarity and confidence.
