(NAFB.com) – American Farmland Trust has promoted Jenny Lester Moffitt to Vice President of Farmland Protection and Strategic Priorities, where she’ll lead a national effort to safeguard America’s working lands now and into the future. Moffitt will unite AFT’s farmland protection, information, and capacity-building initiatives, strengthen the National Agricultural Land Network and Farmland Information Center, and expand conservation easements, land transfers, and public-private partnerships. “I’m honored to take on this role and help expand American Farmland Trust’s efforts to protect farmland and ensure the farmers and ranchers have the opportunity to thrive for generations to come,” said Moffitt. “As a farmer and longtime advocate for working lands, I know how much farmland protection matters to the people and communities who depend on it.” Before joining AFT in 2025, Moffitt served as USDA’s Undersecretary for Marketing and Regulatory Reforms and was the first woman to serve in the position.
