Accelerate the permanent conservation of Vermont’s agricultural lands as working farms
Although 21.6% of Vermont’s agricultural land is now conserved, the remainder is at risk of being lost, potentially permanently, to development or alternative land uses in the near future. Farmland conservation is one of the best ways to protect Vermont farmland from development, keep it in production, benefit from its ecological services, ensure local food production capacity, and maintain a thriving agricultural sector.
