In this session, Addie Candib of American Farmland Trust offers helpful frameworks for thinking about land access, as well as actionable resources for farmers, technical service providers, and policy makers, as well as a summary of AFT’s latest farmland loss report.
Addie Candib is American Farmland Trust’s regional director for the Pacific Northwest, overseeing the organization’s programs and policy work in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. She lives with her family in Bellingham, WA.
