Today is National Farmers Day, a day to spotlight the incredibly important work America’s farmers and ranchers do to provide food, fuel, and fiber for our nation.

In 2023, (American Farmland Trust) AFT has awarded over $1 million to 110 farmers across the country through the Brighter Future Fund (BFF). AFT’s grants help drive new solutions to resolve key societal challenges by increasing farm resilience to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening local food systems, creating greater equity in opportunities for underserved farmers, ensuring the availability of sufficient clean water and habitat for threatened wildlife, and improving farm and community viability.
