Community Land Trusts: Land Access for a Resilient Food System

Phoebe Autry grew up in south Georgia and began her career in agriculture on a sheep dairy outside Atlanta. Over the past decade, she has farmed and worked in agriculture across the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska, including running her own diversified vegetable farm. Her firsthand experience with the challenges of accessing secure, affordable farmland led her to a career in farmland protection. Today, Phoebe works with farmers and ranchers at Oregon Agricultural Trust to protect Oregon’s agricultural land and strengthen long-term access to farmland for the next generation.
