It all began with Peggy Rockefeller's determination to stop the inexorable urban sprawl that was threatening the nation's agriculture. From this humble start grew a small but astute organization, and more importantly, a formidable constituency of farmers and environmentalists united around a common cause. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With leadership from AFT, that constituency drove through Congress the first \"Conservation Title\" in the history of the U.S. Farm Bill; oversaw the development of agriculture conservation easement programs throughout the country; and continues to develop innovative approaches to sustainable agriculture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Farms, No Food\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers inside the political and policy battles that determine the fate of our nation's farmland.
