American Farmland Trust's National Conference, "Farming on the Edge: Meeting the Challenge"
AFT's Farming on the Edge conference brings together people from all across the country who want to create a sustainable future for America's working lands. It provides a forum for planners, land trusts, conservationists, farmers, ranchers and others to network and share their expertise and experience. They go home energized with creative ideas, inspiring examples and time-tested ways to respond to the challenges of growth, environmental concerns, market forces and changing cultural priorities.
By exploring the successes and challenges of existing policies and techniques, participants are able to better advance policies and programs to save farmland, keep it healthy, plan for agriculture and strengthen the economic viability of working landscapes.  For more information, visit www.farmland.org.  Or e-mail
