The FIC is authorized by the federal Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA), the first federal law to address the loss of productive agricultural land to non-farm development. AFT and NRCS have worked together since 1994 to fulfill this requirement... The Farmland Information Center is a one-stop shop for resources and technical assistance to support people working to save agricultural land.
