American Farmland Trust

American Farmland Trust (AFT) is a national non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C dedicated to protecting farmland, the promotion of environmentally sound farming practices, and the support of farmers and ranchers across the United States. Founded in 1980 by a coalition of farmers and conservationists, AFT was one of the nation's first agricultural land trusts and remains the only one with a national scope. Its work spans policy advocacy, land conservation, and technical assistance, with regional offices supporting local efforts.
