Land access continues to be one of the most significant barriers to successful farm growth and building a healthy, resilient local food system, especially for BIPOC farmers denied access to farm support programs and lending opportunities critical to owning farmland. In this session Pride Road and The Conservation Fund will discuss the realities of transitioning farms to the next generation, creating pathways to land ownership, and working on lands with conservation easements. This session provides attendees a robust understanding of the Buy-Protect-Sell model and how a farmer can access farmland through the Working Farms Fund.
