The foundation for healthy communities

The foundation for American Farmland Trust's farm policy and farmland protection work lies in our activities and involvement across the country.

AFT has been instrumental in developing the many successful state and local policy initiatives that focus on farmland protection and local food systems. States such as Texas, Georgia, Virginia and Hawaii recently created new farmland protection programs, while others such as Connecticut signed new funding for a program into law. Many of the 27 state-level, and more than 60 local-level, farmland protection initiatives and programs in place around the country have been assisted by AFT—from Pennsylvania's state-level farmland protection program, which today is the most successful of its kind in the nation, to the winning campaign for farmland protection funding in Acme Township, Michigan.
