Town Meets Country: Farm-City Forums on Land and Community

by: American Farmland Trust

A new publication and website released by American Farmland Trust and The United States Conference of Mayors highlight unprecedented cooperation between rural and urban leaders on policies that will promote smarter land use decisions affecting farms and cities. Town Meets Country: Farm-City Forums on Land and Community reports on the results of five meetings held around the country to explore land use issues facing urban and rural communities. The forums revealed that farmers and urbanites have a common enemy in land-wasting sprawl development.

The site also outlines Ten Things Urban and Rural Leaders Can Do Together to Promote Smart Growth.
