American Farmland Trust is focusing America’s attention and action on the tremendous threats facing the nation’s agricultural lands: unplanned, sprawling development; inadequate conservation programs; and a lack of options for farmers and ranchers who want to stay on their lands. “Farming on the Edge: Sprawling Development Threatens America’s Best Farmland” uses compelling maps to lay out the threats and gives reasoned solutions so that communities, legislators and individuals can clearly see what needs to be done to protect the country’s best farmland.
