UAPB Small Farm Program Keeping it in the Family |
The UAPB Small Farm Program promotes sustainable forestry for African American landowners. In 1910, approximately 19 million farm acres were owned by African Americans. Over time, these landowners witnessed a substantial decrease in their landholdings, often due to discrimination and other predatory practices. By 2017, African Americans possessed fewer than 3.8 million acres of farmland. To begin to address this dramatic loss, the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities created the Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention (SFLR) program in 2012. Sustainable forestry provides a way for African American landowners to maintain their deep and often ancestral ties with the land, while at the same time derive income from their holdings and keep it in the family for generations to come. | Financial,Farm Operations,Conservation | Southwest Arkansas |
