Farm and Ranch Protection Program

The Farm and Ranch Protection Program (FRPP) is a U.S. initiative aimed at preserving agricultural land. It helps farmers and ranchers keep their land from being developed for housing or commercial use by providing funding to purchase conservation easements. These easements are legal agreements that limit future development while allowing the land to remain in productive agricultural use. By supporting this program, the government seeks to maintain open spaces, promote local food production, and protect rural economies, ensuring that farming and ranching can continue for future generations.
