American Farmland Trust (AFT) recently awarded $896,600 to farmers and ranchers looking to improve soil health and long-term farm viability. The funds, distributed through two new grants launched in October 2024, will support 38 producers in Virginia.
Both grants are part of AFT’s Brighter Future Fund, which was established in 2020 to help farmers navigate challenges ranging from market volatility to climate impacts, while also bolstering equity and opportunities for all in agriculture.
The grant funds, which represent one third of the total $2.8 million in grants awarded nationwide, are part of AFT’s Regenerate Virginia initiative, a statewide effort made possible by generous and visionary anonymous supporters.
