“Dad, don’t worry, I’m taking care of your farm,” shared Shirley Johnson with a smile, while looking upward. Shirley decided to leave her Illinois family #farm to American Farmland Trust in her will, under the condition that we will permanently protect the #farmland.

Farm owner Rowan Miller has restored previously depleted soil by using rotational #grazing, #covercrop, and #notill practices. Healthy #soil nourishes the land, animals, and ultimately, people through the food the #farm provides.

As many #farmers face retirement, change is needed to secure our #foodsystem. Our Land Transfer Navigators program aims to preserve farm and ranch land by bridging gaps between producers leaving the profession and those who aspire to enter it. @MotherJones bit.ly/4adZHJ5

Did you know that nearly 43% of U.S. #farmland —nearly 388 million acres— is now farmed or co- farmed by #women? New video on the Women for the Land program that works to close the gaps to success for #womenfarmers! #womenfortheland #farmers

As the U.S. loses 2,000 acres of farmland a day, it’s more important than ever to support our local farmers, ranchers, & food producers. Farmers, market staff, and other experts share why #farmersmarkets are essential parts of America’s #foodsystems in @ediblestories. 🍓

300 million acres of #agricultural land in the U.S. are set to change hands in the next 20 yrs. How that land transfers – and to whom it transfers – matters. The goal of the Land Transfer Navigators project is to increase the transfer of #farm and #ranch land to a new generation.
