Southeast

AFT's Role

American Farmland Trust has been on the ground in the Southeast and is expanding its presence everyday. So far we've championed programs to incentivize sound soil health practices, mapped farmland loss and policies to address it across the region, and hosted educational events to increase awareness the importance of our agricultural land.
