Protecting and Promoting Farmland in Your Town

July 23 6:00 – 7:30pm, via Zoom

 Massachusetts is losing farmland faster than we can save it, and towns can play a part in ensuring land remains available for future generations of farmers. Local policies make a big difference in whether farms succeed or fail, and there are many programs (and lots of funding) available to help protect farmland in your town. This special webinar will share information about farmland protection tools and funding sources for Massachusetts municipalities.

Topics will include: the case for protecting farmland in Massachusetts, tools to help farmers access farmland, ways to support farmers through town planning, funding sources for permanent land protection, and success stories from southeastern Massachusetts.

This webinar will be hosted by the Southeastern Massachusetts Agricultural Partnership (SEMAP), with presentations from American Farmland Trust and Land for Good. Register here to receive the link.
