Listen: Free Range Conversation with AFT and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack
Last week, American Farmland Trust President and CEO John Piotti and special guest Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack participated in a live Free Range Conversation with AFT members and supporters from across America.
During the hour-long conversation, they took live questions and discussed the benefits for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers provided by the American Rescue Plan, markets that would compensate for the environmental benefits farms provide to communities, the need to recruit a diverse next generation of farmers, farmland protection, and much more!
