Conservation Easements and Their Ability to Incorporate Agriculture Production

Conservation easements have become a popular tool to preserve over 3.4 million acres of agricultural land, offering a way to protect farmland while supporting personal and societal goals. These easements help maintain rural communities, promote individual land ownership, and protect local food sources, all while allowing the land to remain in productive agricultural use. Financial incentives, including tax deductions, are significant motivators for landowners, alongside personal commitments to preserving their land. However, the easements come with challenges, such as balancing landowner autonomy with the need for oversight and adapting to unforeseen future needs.
