Many local and state governments, particularly in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, have been funding farmland preservation programs since the late 1970s. This website will help you keep up with the policies, practices and initiatives these government programs use to protect farmland from development. If you are involved in managing a program, or, you are a member of an agricultural advisory board, or you are a landowner who wants to know more about how these programs work, the information on this website will be helpful to you.
Farmland Preservation Report – the nation’s only independent news source covering the field – is written by professionals who have all been in the field for at least 10 years. FPR has been published since 1990, and is the information source for the nation’s leading land conservation professionals. Since it first began publication as a paper newsletter that was mailed to subscribers, FPR has been the most quoted, most referenced, most highly-rated and most in-demand publication of farmland preservation practitioners in the United States.
Now, everyone can check in at FPR and enjoy professional journalism they can trust. Learn how farmland preservation is being carried out by the nation’s most successful programs and how other local and state governments are exploring the possibility of developing their own programs.
