OFP does this by supporting and sponsoring agricultural conservation easements, assisting local governments and organizations as they develop and implement measures to retain agricultural land, providing resources to assist with the transition of farmland and farm businesses from one generation to the next, and providing data and analysis on trends impacting farmland in Washington. Kate brings a broad understanding of food systems and conservation to her work, with diverse experience including conservation transactions and policy, conservation funding, land-use planning, farmers markets, and food assistance programs. Kate holds a MPA from the University of Washington and is an AgForestry graduate (Class 42).
