American Farmland Trust
About American Farmland Trust
The mission of American Farmland Trust is protecting farmland, promoting sound farming practices, and keeping farmers on the land. Since their founding in 1980 by a group of farmers and citizens concerned about the rapid loss of farmland to development, they've helped save millions of acres of farmland from development and led the way for establishing sound environmental practices on millions more.
The benefits of bountiful and protected working lands represent the best bet for a healthy, sustainable future — and their plan to help America guarantee that future through comprehensive stewardship of the nation's working lands is based on the following key programs:
- Farmland Protection - is focused on permanently protecting farm and ranch land across America.
- Agriculture & Environment - helps farmers and ranchers improve water quality and combat climate change while expanding their sources of revenue.
- Growing Local - supports farmers and communities in sustaining local agriculture while strengthening America's food and farming system.
