To foster a healthy, collaborative relationship – Trust In Food and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) partnered to create a series of “Conservation Conversation Guides” designed to empower farmers to talk to their landowners. The guides provide farmers with key questions and thought-starters they can use to start conversations with their landowners around collaborating on conservation and sharing the risk. They also include resources and proof points for the farmers to use to help back up their claims.

This resource guide aims to empower conversations that lead to agreement, alignment, and ultimately, longer-term land lease security while co-investing in the sustainable benefits of conservation agriculture.
