#FarmsUnderThreat
America’s farm and ranch lands are rapidly disappearing, threatening our rural communities and agricultural economy, jeopardizing future food security, and increasing vulnerability to extreme weather events. States face a choice: let poorly planned development of this vulnerable resource continue or work to safeguard more farmland through better land-use planning and additional farmland protection tools. Farms Under Threat 2040: Choosing an Abundant Future, a new report from American Farmland Trust, maps three alternative futures out to the year 2040.
AFT’s National Agricultural Land Network explores highlights of the report’s findings for 35 states and what they mean for the future of agriculture. In this free, one-hour webinar you will learn more about the scenarios mapped, the methodology behind the scenarios, and how to dive deeper into the data.
