Presenters: Holly Rippon-Butler (National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC))

Land access is one of the top challenges faced by the next generation of farmers across the country. NYFC’s Land Access Program Director, Holly Rippon-Butler, will discuss how the context for accessing land has changed over the past few decades, making it more difficult for farmers now than ever before. She will then provide details on various tools and strategies to help farmers gain access to land that is affordable and equitable, with a focus on how organizations such as non-profits, land trusts, government agencies, and farmland investment groups can be part of the solution. Holly will review tools and strategies, share case studies from across the country, and provide time for participant questions.
