The Wild Farm Alliance is also responsible for promoting private and public conservation incentives that compensate farmers for their stewardship efforts.
Since 37% of the Earth's land is dedicated to agriculture, the WFA believes that farmlands should be the first focus area for wildlife conservation (International Federation of Organic Movements-2002.).
Recognizing that: Believe that: Combining an array of different ecological restoration and conservation strategies the Wild Farm Alliance calls their ideal sustainable model a "wildfarm."
In order to increase wilderness on the farm, farmers apply biologically stimulating practices such as the use of hedgerows, riparian restoration, watershed conservation, incorporation of native flora and fauna, control of invasive species, as well as many others.
They do this by connecting wildernesses and farmlands together, thus expanding the wild landscape and habitat region of local native species.Riparian Restoration: Riparian zones and the watershed are valuable and sensitive components of the farm ecosystem, that should be protected from erosion, water contamination, and other ecologically devastating processes.
