From The National Young Farmers Coalition:

This is a pivotal moment in our work to build a more sustainable and livable future for young farmers and ranchers. To meet this moment, we launched A Future With Farmers, a campaign to empower farmers and advocates through farmer leadership opportunities, community partnerships, and farmer-centered policy development. We'll be hosting our first campaign webinar focused on Policy Development on June 23 at 12 pm CT/1 pm ET

ABOUT

Forty percent of U.S. farmland is expected to be lost to development by 2040. The average farmer is approaching 60 years old. There are now less than two million farmers–the lowest number of farmers in 90 years–and key programs and policies supporting young farmers are under attack.

Now is the time to support the new generation of farmer leaders that will shape the future of U.S. agriculture. Whether you’re a young farmer or a passionate supporter, we invite you to join us to create a Future with Farmers. Take action to realize our collective vision of a more just and hopeful future for young farmers and our communities.
