No Farms No Future: A Show About the Issues Facing Farmers and Ranchers

If you enjoyed our last episode with John Piotti, we have good news! Heritage Radio Network is producing a monthly show hosted by John. The show is called No Farms No Future, the podcast of American Farmland Trust. The show will dig into the issues facing farms and farmers today. We all need to eat, and as a result, we all need to know what faces the folks who raise our food. Today we are proud to premiere the very first episode of No Farms No Future. For more than 40 years, American Farmland Trust (AFT) has fought to keep farmers on their land, promote environmentally sound farming practices, and protect U.S. farmland. At a time when independent farmers and ranchers face ever-increasing financial and climate challenges, AFT works nationwide with them to help create innovative solutions for a sustainable food system. In this opening episode of No Farms No Future, American Farmland Trust, and the Food Voice, AFT president and CEO John Piotti explains how reversing the trend toward fewer local farms and declining soil health is critical to preserving our food supply and the planet. You’ll also meet two farmers—one at the end of a career and one who is just beginning—who show how ingenuity and collaboration can brighten the future, one farm at a time.
