Investing in Farmland to Benefit Farmers, Soil Health and Rural Communities

Join Backyard to Table and Morton Memorial Library for the next speaker in the Rhinecliff Sustainability Series. We welcome Jacob Israelow, Founder and Managing Director of Dirt Capital. Strong farm businesses have a meaningful impact on rural economies and job creation. Farmers that use ecological methods improve soil and water quality, and foster biodiversity. Neither is possible without secure land tenure. Since 2014, Dirt Capital has invested over $16 million in 24 projects across 4,000+ acres in the Northeast US. Jacob will lead an interactive presentation on the company's approach.
