Farms for a New Generation (FNG) works to increase access to land and capital for the rising generation of farmers and ranchers, especially where barriers to entering and thriving in agriculture are the highest.
At the same time, we aspire to cultivate accessible pathways for elder farmers and landowners to transfer their farms with dignity and confidence
With over 300 million acres set to change hands, conservation professionals are helping farmers and ranchers work through the succession planning process.
Farm transfers are complex. Anna Sekine helps farmers pass their land to the next generation.

We recognize that access to land is a complex issue. We acknowledge the systemic theft and barriers to land that historically excluded communities, including Indigenous people, African Americans, and People of Color. We acknowledge that inequitable wealth distribution has placed agricultural land and resources out of reach for many aspiring farmers and ranchers.
We envision a transformation of systems that foster health and prosperity for all people and land.
