Agricultural Land Trust

An Agricultural Land Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving farmland for future generations. It acquires or holds land agreements to prevent development, ensuring the land stays available for farming and natural habitat preservation. By doing so, it supports local agriculture, protects open spaces, and maintains environmental health. These trusts often work with landowners, farmers, and government agencies to establish long-term protections through conservation easements or ownership, fostering sustainable land use and safeguarding the cultural and ecological value of agricultural landscapes.
