LANDED – Details, episodes & analysis

A show for those who care about the future of farming—and what it means for people, places, and food. 

LANDED explores how farms and ranches transition from one generation to the next. That process sounds simple, but it isn’t. Land transfers are complicated, full of economic, legal, and emotional challenges. And they’re important — to all of us, no matter where we live. How American farmland transfers, and to whom it transfers, will determine the future of rural communities and the entire food system.

This series takes you to farms and ranches across the country — from pick-up trucks and packing sheds to cattle pastures and kitchen tables. Along the way, you’ll meet a vibrant cast of characters: young farmers who are just getting their start, aging ranchers who are ready to slow down, and advisors who work to support them all. In every episode, we highlight how people are planning for the future of their land — and we show what can happen when they don’t. These grounded, complex stories reveal what it takes to be, and to become, landed.
