Promoting Sound Farming Practices
AFT has been deeply involved in farm conservation issues since our founding 34 years ago. During that time, we’ve
worked hand-in-hand with farmers and ranchers on positive solutions that protect the nation’s soil and water resources.
Farmers and ranchers are the stewards of the land, but they need programs to support their efforts. AFT’s Clean Water & Viable Farms campaign works with farmers to help them adopt conservation practices that benefit everyone through better soil, cleaner water, reduced pollution and actions that mitigate climate change.
Our efforts involve encouraging farmers and ranchers to adopt tried-and-true regenerative methods to protect the land—such as no-till, crop rotations, rotational grazing and cover crops that prevent erosion and keep nutrients on the land and out of the water.
We are also on the cutting-edge of innovative new solutions that can help significant numbers of farmers transition to conservation practices with large-scale impacts on the environment. In pilot projects in watersheds around the
country, AFT is advancing new approaches that offer models for how farmers and ranchers can work effectively to protect water quality and save the land.
Our “BMP Challenge,” for instance, is a pioneering program to help farmers make more efficient use of fertilizer—a major contributor to water pollution. Farmers around the country are participating in the project, which has demonstrated that fertilizer use can typically be reduced without damaging the ability of farmers to grow crops profitably.
Pesticides are also a major issue in the nation’s waterways and soil. Working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, AFT has managed a grants program since 1997 that has helped 11,000 farmers reduce their use of highly toxic pesticides by 30 to 50 percent while staying profitable. As a result, pesticide use has been reduced by more than two million pounds.
We’ve developed over 50 “plans for agriculture” around the country that give communities the vision and strategies to save valuable farmland and support farming. Our advocacy efforts on the Farm Bill have helped to keep farmers on the land by creating new opportunities for beginning
farmers and ranchers, farmers markets, and consumers needing better access to healthy, nutritious food.
And our Farmland Information Center is the nation’s premier resource for communities needing information and tools to keep the land in farming.
