About American Farmers
## Overview “American Farmers” is not a single, centralized organization, but rather a collective term for the millions of individuals and families who operate farms and ranches across the United States. However, several prominent organizations advocate for, represent, and support these farmers, each with distinct missions, histories, and achievements. Below is a focused summary of three leading groups—American Farmland Trust, American Farm Bureau Federation, and National Farmers Union—that embody the spirit and interests of American farmers. ## American Farmland Trust Founded in 1980, American Farmland Trust (AFT) is a pioneering nonprofit dedicated to conserving agricultural land, promoting environmentally sound farming practices, and helping farm families remain on their land[1]. AFT’s holistic approach recognizes the interdependence of land, farming practices, and farmers’ livelihoods. The organization is famous for its *No Farms No Food®* campaign, emphasizing the critical link between farmland and food security[1]. Over the decades, AFT has protected millions of acres from development and assisted tens of thousands of farmers in adopting sustainable practices. Despite these successes, challenges persist: 2,000 acres of farmland are lost daily to non-agricultural uses, and a third of U.S. farmland may change hands in the next 15 years as older farmers retire[1]. AFT’s advocacy, research, and on-the-ground projects aim to ensure that farmland remains productive and accessible for future generations. ## American Farm Bureau Federation The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), established in 1919, is the nation’s largest grassroots farm organization, representing farmers, ranchers, and rural communities[2]. AFBF is known as the *Voice of Agriculture®*, shaping policy through a bottom-up approach: local members propose policies that ascend to state and national levels[2]. The organization provides business tools, leadership development programs (such as Young Farmers & Ranchers), and consumer outreach to build trust in agriculture[
