Hi Everyone,

I am really excited to have as my guest this week, Erica Goodman, the New York Regional Director at American Farmland Trust. The American Farmland Trust is a non-profit organization that stands at the intersection of agriculture and the environment, protecting farmland, promoting conservation easements, and supporting better farming practices. Erica oversees the organization’s work in New York and neighboring New Jersey. She is a native New Yorker, and grew up as part of a multi-generational dairy farm family in Washington County. Erica has previously held roles on AFT’s national communications team, served as Associate Director of Corporate Partnership at FoodCorps (pronounced Food-Core), and since 2016, Erica has served as representative-at-large for urban, suburban, and rural non-farm interests on the New York State Soil and Water Conservation Committee. In addition, she was named one of Hunter College’s “40 Under 40” in New York City Food Policy in 2018.

I hope you can join us on Thursday to learn about the work of the American Farmland Trust and what they are doing to protect farmland in New York State and our environment.
