Land is one of the most valuable resources within the agriculture sector. In order to maintain Ohio's land-based industry and all its related benefits, the Office of Farmland Preservation educates the public about the importance of saving this precious resource. The office also assists farmers and local officials with their farmland protection efforts and hosts an annual farmland preservation summit.

The office implements the Clean Ohio Agricultural Easement Purchase Program , the Ohio Agricultural Easement Donation Program, and provides technical assistance to communities implementing the Agricultural Security Area program.
