The Trust for Public Land is using it's Greenprint to help local governments conserve existing farmlands and realize new agriculture opportunities. This presentation will provide an overview of the agriculture priorities that have been established by local governments in various Greenprints, and demonstrate how the Greenprint translates the priorities into measurable criteria. This presentation will also demonstrate some of the tools being used to help local governments objectively evaluate opportunities for farmland conservation and creation.
