Learn more about the land access policy we’re trying to get included in the next Farm Bill!
On February 8, 2024, the National Young Farmers Coalition (Young Farmers), our partners, and bill cosponsors hosted a virtual Congressional briefing on the Increasing Land Access, Security, and Opportunities Act (S.2340 / H.R.3955), or “LASO Act.”
This bipartisan bill offers flexible, powerful support for community-led solutions to the land access, retention, and transition crisis. This funding would provide critical resources to a wide variety of eligible applicants, helping make innovative solutions a reality in addressing the number one challenge facing the next generation of farmers: land access. During the briefing, you will hear short remarks from original cosponsors, receive an overview of the bill as it currently stands from Young Farmers staff, and hear directly from some of the young farmers and organizations who stand to benefit from this legislation on why they need equitable land access solutions.
