Our mission is "Saving the Land that Sustains Us"



Since our founding in 1980, American Farmland Trust has helped win permanent protection for over a million acres of American farmland.Our hard work and sound strategies unite farmers,environmentalists and policymakers.



We have three strategies for saving America`s farmland:

• Protect the best land through publicly funded agricultural conservation easement programs;

• Plan for growth with agriculture in mind through effective community planning and growth management;

• Keep the land healthy for farmland through encouraging stewardship and conservations practices.
