Congress takes up a new Farm Bill every five years. It’s an opportunity to shape the future of American farming and food policy and it’s up for renewal this year. 

In this episode of No Farms No Future, we talk with Don Stuart, author of “No Farms, No Food: Uniting Farmers and Environmentalists to transform American Agriculture” (2022). A former director for American Farmland Trust’s Pacific Northwest Regional Office, Don takes us back to AFT’s early role in building alliances between farmers and environmentalists in Farm Bills past. John Piotti, president of American Farmland Trust, looks to a future that recognizes the essential environmental services that farmers provide – and Farm Bills that further enhance sustainable practices on the land.

No Farms No Future is a podcast created through a collaboration between Heritage Radio Network, American Farmland Trust, and The Food Voice.
