"Efforts to protect America's farmland begin at the local level, where aprawl threatens community character and endangers fiscal stability. The strategies, policies and techniques described in this book will help farmers and ranchers, public officials, conservationists and other citizens understand how protect precious agricultural land and landscapes. However, local initiative is not always enough. The competition for land occurs in the context of a global economy and is strongly influenced by federal and state government policies. Even the most weill-intentioned local efforts will fail if state legislatures and Congress continue to promote policies that facilitate development on agricultural land. Now is the time for policymakers at all levels of government to support agriculture and re-examine the transportation, tax, and even environmental programs that contribute to urban sprawl. This book offers the kind of insight and information needed to accomplish this task. SAVING AMERICAN FARMLAND is the most comprehensive reference publication available on the subject. This guidebook complements and expands the vast resources of the American Farmland Trust-managed Farmland Information Center-an Internet-accessible database and library. Together they provide the most up-to-date information on the full range of public policies and programs that give landowners alternatives to selling farm and ranch lands for development. SAVING AMERICAN FARMLAND features impressive success stories detailing how local communities have built comprehensive programs to protect farmland. AFT offers these stories to inspire concerned citizens and communities across the nation to protect the land that sustains us all." {William K. Reilly, Chairman of the Board, American Farmland Trust}. This book has 334 pages and is illustrated throughout. The text contains NO internal marks whatsoever.
