SUMMARY:Life After Farming… What’s Next for You and Your Land?
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Farmland Access Hub \nRegister Here \nSession 1Session 2 is September 12th 11:30am-1pm \nAmerica’s farms have hit a critical point. Most of our food and fiber producers are over 55\, while young and beginning farmers—due to debt and insurmountable challenges around farming and farmland access—are only replacing these producers at a rate of 9%. Additionally\, the devastating and rapid loss of farmland in the U.S. to poorly planned developmental sprawl and foreign investors is pointing toward an impending food system crisis. \nThe Farmland Access Hub and Renewing the Countryside\, along with the Land Stewardship Project (LSP)\, Region Nine Development Commission\, American Farmland Trust\, and others\, are working to mitigate these issues by creating educational and networking opportunities for landowners and farmers around legacy planning and farmland transition. \nTo bring people together for learning and discussion\, the Hub is hosting two online webinars—one in August and one in September—to provide resources to farmland owners interested in transitioning their land with a positive community legacy while engaging in peer-driven problem-solving.  \nWhether you are interested in renting\, selling\, or transitioning your farm to a new owner\, the information provided during these 1-hour programs is geared to help landowners and retiring farmers identify and overcome fears and challenges as they think through the next steps for their land. \nCome to Session One with your questions\, ready to learn and gather resources. In Session Two\, landowners will dive deeper into specific challenges and scenarios with facilitated support from succession coordinators and land transfer specialists.
