A short plug here for one of my favorite organizations: The American Farmland Trust.
Founded in 1980 by a group of farmers and conservationists concerned about the rapid loss of the nation’s farmland to development, American Farmland Trust (AFT) is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to protecting our nation’s strategic agricultural resources. Working with farmers and ranchers, political leaders and community activists, AFT has helped to permanently protect more than a million acres of America’s best farm and ranch land.
The are having a fund drive, and you can get a cool “No Farms, No Food” tote bag with your donation. Even if you can’t donate, check out their website for some great resources on supporting sustainable agriculture.
