in this episode, Jay Matteson interviews Linda Garrett, the New York Regional Director of American Farmland Trust. American Farmland Trust (AFT) is doing a lot of work across New York State to help preserve precious farmland. AFT is working with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and County Soil and Water Conservation Districts to provide training to farmers on regenerative agricultural practices and improving soil ecosystems. AFT is also focused on the increasing presence of women in agriculture, helping to bring women with an agricultural focus together across the State.
AFT is also matching those who want to get into farming with available farmland through their Farmland for a New Generation Program. Linda and Jay also discuss AFTs Farm to Institution program and their work bringing local food into school meals for the students.
Solar siting on farmland is a huge issue across NYS and AFT is working hard to help farmers and communities make wise choices. There are many activities undereway by AFT to assist.
