Meet Our Host, John Piotti

In this episode, we talk with Chief Executive Officer John Piotti of the American Farmland Trust about how soil health can increase productivity and provide other benefits like the storing of carbon. Additionally, we talk about regenerative agriculture, climate change, pollinator habitat, and 'the silver lining' of healthy soils in mitigating increasing challenges to agriculture and the planet. John reiterates there are different case studies, tools, and practices that can help each farm improve the health of their soil. Technical educational service, good information, and financial assistance can be critical. For more information about American Farmland Trust, please visit https://farmland.org/ We would also encourage you to visit the Virginia Soil Health Coalition's website for additional technical and educational resources on soil health and other farming practices at https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/

American Farmland Trust with John Piotti

This episode about sustainable agriculture features Fatima Emmad, founder of Front Line Farming, and John Piotti, CEO of American Farmland Trust. They are both leaders in the sustainable agriculture movement, but they deal with very different challenges in our food system. In this episode they will explore how regenerative farming techniques are combatting the climate crisis, and they will unpack the layers of injustice that are baked into our current food system from farm to fork.

Ep. 81: John Piotti, CEO &amp; President of American Farmland Trust, Washington D.C. ||  On episode 81 of Sourcing Matters we welcome John Piotti, CEO &amp; President of American Farmland Trust.  American Farmland Trust (AFT) is an organization that works to protect and conserve farmland throughout the United States. Headquartered in Washington, D.C, – AFT is staffed and governed by farmers, policy experts, researchers and scientists.  With the call to action of “Join the Movement”, “Save a Family Farm”, and “Stay Informed” – American Farmland Trust seeks to engage diverse stakeholders in evaluating: What will happen to the nation’s food supply if we continue to wastefully develop our best farm &amp; ranch land?  By the late 1970s, Peggy Rockefeller, a passionate farmer and active philanthropist, had become frustrated that none of the major environmental or agricultural organizations were effectively applying the emerging tools of land conservation to agriculture. She pulled together a brain trust to explore what could be done. This first-of-its-kind analysis of how and why America was losing farmland had recently been completed by USDA and the President’s Council on Environmental Quality. The group recognized the serious threat posed by farmland loss and concluded that our nation needed a new kind of organization, one that stood at the intersection of agriculture and the environment. It would take a unique and highly innovative organization to operate effectively in this previously unexplored realm. But there was clearly a void that needed to be filled. They formally chartered American Farmland Trust in 1980.  John Piotti joined American Farmland Trust as president and CEO in July 2016, bringing more than 25 years of executive management and public policy experience to the organization.  Prior, John served as president and CEO of Maine Farmland Trust for 10 years. Under his leadership, Maine Farmland Trust became an award-winning statewide nonprofit organization, helping over 500 Maine farms remain viable. Piotti has earned a reputation as a nonpartisan problem-solver; as a Statesman, an Eisenhower Fellow – and – as a leader in future food that has helped stabilize a regional dairy industry, and procure funding to protect working waterfronts &amp; our natural lands. John holds three degrees from the MIT, in engineering, public policy, and management.  TuneIn to our 50 minute conversation to hear more about how the practice of American Farmland Trust has now cast over 6,500,000 acres of farmland in the United States into perpetual conservation.  With John’s focus on conservation (regenerative) agriculture practice of these lands, and more  – AFT will remain a pillar in American farmland access, and its management for the foreseeable future.   www.SourcingMatters.show

Ep. 81: John Piotti - American Farmland Trust, CEO & President 

  Maine recently passed the most sweeping changes to the state's  tax code since the establishment of its income tax in 1969—in  part due to the efforts of State Representative John Piotti, who  introduced LD 1088, a bill that included a single flat rate  individual income tax of 6.5 percent and an expansion of the  sales tax. The legislation passed both the state House of  Representatives and Senate in June, but at the urging of Governor  Baldacci, the reforms were altered and reintroduced...
