Middle school agriculture teacher Carrie Robertson embodies our organizational pillars as her father and grandfather were in the cattle business, she champions agriculture education, and she has lived and continues to live by the belief that farmland is precious.

“We know, through experience and data, which places on Earth can produce food,” Robertson said. “Soil used for farming and ranching is a living ecosystem, fragile and finite, that is essential for every human. It's critical to protect the places we farm, and the people who do the work.”

Only 3% of Earth is useful farmland that has suitable climate and productive soil. Water covers about 75% of Earth and deserts, swamps, mountains, polar regions, and land that is too rocky, wet, or hot to grow food make up the remaining 22% of the planet.

The best way to preserve farmland is to use the land for its intended purpose – farming. CFT and partners including Raley’s and the California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC)
