Anna Sekine

Anna (she/her) joined American Farmland Trust in January 2025, where she works as the Midwest Land Transfer Navigator, supporting programs focused on farmland protection, access, and transfer across the region. In this role, she also facilitates succession workshops, leads regional forums and trainings, and guides value-based conversations with farmers and farm families in both group and one‑on‑one settings. Prior to AFT, she worked in organic certification, providing technical assistance to farmers navigating complex processes and advocating for a more equitable and accessible ag system.

Her background in technical assistance, land access, and equity‑centered ag work informs her approach to succession and transfer conversations.
