For what is now over 40 years, AFT has developed and refined the tools needed to protect farmland, improve farming practices, and support farmers. We can point to impressive outcomes, including more than 7.8 million acres of protected farmland, innovative federal programs that have built soil health, and hundreds of thousands of farm families who have been supported in some manner, including many next-generation farmers who have been helped to enter the field.
Yet despite these successes, so much more needs to be done. AFT’s current focus is on scaling up its work and impact. We’ve proven what works. We just need to do more of it!
