OUR WORK AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR FARMS, FOOD, AND THE ENVIRONMENT |
Helping Farmers and Communities Grow Local
As the popularity of local food soars, meeting the demand requires more farms, more farmland, and more farmers growing local food. In 2009 we worked in several of the country’s most metropolitan areas to help local farms thrive.

Growing a Future for Conservation
This has has been an exciting year for farmers who provide environmental benefits through their land stewardship. Farmers now have more options for environmentally sound practices to protect our drinking water and wildlife habitat —and real progress has been made toward a legislative solution to address climate change in a way that rewards farmers who can help to clean up the atmosphere.

Protecting Our Most Precious Resource: Our Working Lands
Over the last three decades we have helped 27 states and hundreds of local communities create and improve programs to protect farmland from sprawling development. In 2009 we continued to press forward on national and regional levels to protect farmland from development forever.
