Working on a Township-wide basis, the Committee serves as a forum for discussion of local agricultural practices and as an agent of change for public policies that may impact farming and the preservation of farmland.

- Make recommendations to the Planning Board and Township Committee as to municipal land use procedures that strengthen and sustain agriculture
- Undertake studies to determine the existence of farmland and the potential for farmland preservation throughout the Township
- Prepare and forward to the Planning Board and Township Committee plans, maps and grant applications for the preservation of farmland, including but not limited to submissions to the New Jersey State Department of Agriculture (Planning Incentive Grant Program), and grant-supported programs administered by the Mercer County Agricultural Development Board
