The FARMERS LAND TRUST

The Farmers Land Trust is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that exists to keep farmers on the land, protect farmland for future generations, and ensure communities have access to healthy, locally grown food. The organization engages directly with farmland protection by creating and supporting Farmland Commons, nonprofit landholding entities governed by the community. Farmland Commons are community-centered, democratically run nonprofit entities that hold title to lands, steward and manage those lands, and provide secure and affordable lease tenure to those who practice regenerative agriculture and ecological stewardship. The organization addresses barriers to land access that the next generation of farmers faces, with leadership recognizing that farmers need not only land access but also land security.
