About SILT:
The Sustainable Iowa Land Trust (SILT) launched in early
2015 to help answer these questions. Its mission is to
permanently protect land to grow healthy food. It will take
land speculation out of the equation for future healthy food
farmers through sole ownership of farmland and the stringent enforcement of sustainable ag
conservation easements. It is also seeking partnerships among investors, developers and real estate
companies to build neighborhoods that will incorporate SILT-owned nature-friendly farms into
them, providing a win-win for all involved and permanently protecting more land more quickly
during this massive land transfer. It is the only land trust in the Midwest dedicated to such an
ambitious and vital mission. — SILT.org About Us Page
