Saving the land that sustains us since 1980. Leading the No Farms, No Food movement.
关于我们
American Farmland Trust (AFT) began in 1980 after a small group of farmers and conservationists asked an important question: What will happen to the nation's food supply if we continue to wastefully develop our best farm and ranch land? Peggy McGrath Rockefeller, the wife of philanthropist David Rockefeller, was one of AFT's founding members. Peggy was a dedicated and accomplished farmer, raising purebred cattle on farms in Maine and upstate New York. Guided by Rockefeller, noted soil conservationist Norm Berg, California farmer Ralph Grossi, and others, AFT focused in the early years on pioneering programs around the country that use a powerful tool – conservation easements – to make the nation's best farmland off limits to developers. From the early days, AFT has been a strong advocate for voluntary conservation practices and programs that preserve not just land but also our precious soil and water supplies. In the 40+ years since AFT began, we've seen farmland preservation transform into a national movement that has protected well over five million acres nationwide. Of course, there is much more work to be done. Today, AFT is dedicated to preserving the nation's farm and ranch land – and critical natural resources like soil and water. We also make sure to never forget that it is people – our family farmers and ranchers – who feed us and sustain America. Please join us.

Last week, we hosted an event with partners in Evansville, Wisconsin to celebrate the permanent protection of 190 acres of prime farmland through the Wisconsin Farmland Protection Partnership. This agricultural conservation easement, which will provide public access for outdoor recreation in Rock County and permanently secure Wisconsin farmland into the future, was funded with support from Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). Congratulations to Groundswell Conservancy for the tremendous achievement! ?? ?? Learn more about how we work with partners to protect our nation's valuable farmland: https://bit.ly/3UkMKZ6.

80% of Texas land is privately-owned land supplying food, fiber, water and recreation for an overall healthier environment. With the population projected to double in growth over a few short decades, these working lands are under pressure. Tools like conservation easements might be one of the best solutions to protect the future of Texas.

California's produce is found in kitchens across the U.S. as the nation's number one food producing state. The state's farmers and ranchers face severe business challenges including some of the nation’s most expensive agricultural land and increasingly devastating climatic risks such as floods, droughts, and wildfires. We compared data from the most recent 2022 Census of Agriculture with past Census data to?confirm alarming agricultural trends in California that cannot be ignored. Read more: https://bit.ly/3Nwaghu.
