Farmland protection
Programs, operated mostly at state and local levels by government agencies or private entities such as land trusts, that are designed to limit conversion of agricultural land to other uses that otherwise might have been more financially attractive to the landowner. Every state has at least one such program; the most popular programmes are tax relief through preferential or differential assessment, and right-to-farm laws. Easements are used in some states.
