MA is losing farmland faster than we can save it. Towns play an important part in ensuring land remains available for future generations of farmers. Local policies make a big difference in whether farms succeed or fail. This webinar will share information about farmland protection tools and funding sources to help protect farmland in your town. Topics will include: why protect 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. |
