30 | FALL 2026 EDIBLE CENTRAL OREGON American Farmland Trust believes in thriving farms and ranches. AFT protects agricultural land, promotes environmentally sound farming practices, and keeps farmers on their land. It is the only national agricultural organization of its kind recognizing the connection between land, practices, and farmers. Because of AFT, millions of acres of farmland that otherwise would have been converted into house lots and shopping malls remain in farming, and tens of thousands of farmers and ranchers have adopted better farming practices.

Having spent years working alongside dairy producers and grain growers, she came to understand that protecting farmland and supporting the people who steward it are inseparable parts of a healthy food system. For Cafaro, American Farmland Trust (AFT) is doing work she recognizes from the ground up. Not just protecting acres on a map but showing up for the farmers and ranchers behind them—in the fields and in the rooms where decisions get made. “Anyone who eats should recognize that farmland preservation and supporting the next generation of farmers is critical to our sustainability as a nation,” Cafaro reflects. As a storyteller and host of programs exploring America’s regional food cultures, Cafaro is especially passionate about amplifying the voices of those behind our food—from family farmers to the many women who farm or co-farm more than 40 percent of U.S. farmland. For her, conservation organizations like AFT are part of how we make sure the land and the communities that steward it can continue for generations to come. Join Capri and thousands of others in helping keep America’s farms and ranches thriving. Become a member of AFT today. This is for anyone who eats.
