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