Family farmers are facing acute financial stress, compounded by tariffs, rising input costs, and limited bargaining power in a globalized market. Without intervention, land is at risk of consolidation by corporate agribusiness and investment funds. This would turn independent farmers into tenants or laborers on land their families once owned.

We propose a national, nonpartisan solidarity initiative to protect American farmland, combining community fundraising, land trusts, and partnerships across ideological lines. This initiative would transcend partisan divides and focus on preserving land, livelihoods, and the cultural fabric of America.
