California Farmland Trust

The mission of the California Farmland Trust is to help farmers protect the best farmland in the world.

We can think of a list of the positive effects of agricultural conservation easements, and these little guys are one of them🦅

The Swainson Hawk Program limits the kinds of commodities grown on the easement to ensure plenty of suitable habitat for the hawks.

No farmland = no food.

Among the challenges such as drought, wildfire and flooding that already exist for our California farms, urban development poses an equally brutal repercussion for food security everywhere. Without this land, where would people get their food...?🌎🌽
