This national USDA-funded project will conduct research, education and outreach on the critical issues of farm and ranch land access, succession, tenure and stewardship.
The project will focus on new approaches that foster farm entry, succession and stewardship. Project partners will explore, recommend and share best practices and new ideas for acquiring, holding, and passing on agricultural lands, and their implications for land use and the environment.
We will build the capacity of public and private agricultural service providers to assist clients regarding these land-related issues, produce tools, and propose supportive public policies.
