Our Work in New York State

New York State has been losing farmland to development at an alarming rate of 9,000 acres a year—one farm every 3 ½ days. By collaborating with diverse groups from across the state, including farmers, environmentalists, local food and hunger relief advocates, land trusts and state and local governments, American Farmland Trust’s New York State office supports agricultural businesses, helps protect farmland, builds farm-friendly communities, and brings home the local food and local farmland connection for all New Yorkers.
