Sustainable Agricultural Lease Workshop

February 15, 2018

Sustainable Agricultural Lease Workshop

Rented land is vital to the viability and profitability of farms.

  • Ownership of land is changing hands - over the next 20 years 70% of private land is expected to transfer to new owners.
  • More individuals further removed from agriculture are expected to own farmland along with a growing number of women.
  • Building soil health and conserving soil and water resources are essential to farm profitability and resiliency in a changing climate.
