American Farmland Trust The nation’s leading conservation organization dedicated to: saving America’s farm and ranch land promoting environmentally sound farming practices supporting a sustainable future for farms

American Farmland Trust and ERS CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!

ERS: Shining a Light on Key Issues Codification system: understanding food in the path of development Possible Implications for U.S. Agriculture from Adoption of Select Dietary Guidelines: amount of agricultural land needed to grow food Key information to reshape CRP in 1996

Looking Ahead: Agriculture Complex industry Complex problems Polarizing debates Facts enlighten decision making process Insufficient information = bad policy Won’t be done for us

Looking Ahead: Land Resources Shape better policy Explore new drivers Ecosystem Service Markets Assess new technologies Improve efficiencies Data to address national landscape integrity and water security

Rural Development More sophisticated focus Flourish while remaining rural Smart growth and planning for agriculture

Congratulations from American Farmland Trust
