American Farmland Trust's (AFT) New York State Office organized this webinar to provide an overview of Planning for Agriculture in New York: A Toolkit for Towns and Counties, a publication designed to help planners and citizens support farms and other agricultural businesses and protect the local landscape. Topics include: agricultural economic development; food and public heath; zoning and land use planning; purchase of development rights, and public education.

This is the first webinar in a series of six webinars on Planning for Agriculture organized by AFT's New York State Office in 2011.
