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,

inspiring examples and time-tested ways to respond to the challenges of
growth, environmental concerns, market forces and changing cultural
priorities.

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,
