Working Lands Alliance

Connecticut is losing 7,000 - 9,000 acres of land in farms to non-agricultural uses every year. At this rate, there will be no farmland to save in Connecticut by 2040.

The Working Lands Alliance was formed in 1999 as a multi-interest coalition with the sole purpose of preserving Connecticut’s most precious natural resource – its farmland. Over 200 organizations representing concerns as diverse as hunger, the environment, and agriculture joined forces to educate the public and our state lawmakers about the loss of farmland and what we can do to protect it for future generations. We invite you to join us in our efforts to ensure that our working lands will not just be a legacy of the past, but a promise for the future.
