Step 1 to feed a billion people: stop losing farmland.

America lost 6000 acres of farmland and ranchland every single day between 1994 and 2023 according to the USDA. Between that time, we lost a whopping 80 million acres of land. The American Farmland Trust in its report “Farms Under Threat 2040: Choosing an abundant future” put this number at 2000 acres/ day, but it doesn’t quite disclose its calculations.
