American Farmland Trust

American Farmland Trust (AFT) is an organization founded to preserve farmland in the United States and to promote sustainable farming practices. Farmers and ranchers founded AFT in 1980, partly in response to the 1979 report of the National Agricultural Lands Study, titled Where Have the Farm Lands Gone? The organization has worked to pass state laws and local ordinances intended to enable the preservation of farmland. AFT is governed by a board of directors. Its staff has produced a number of reports on farmland issues, as well as a magazine for members.
