Agricultural Lands
The focus of this section is on the preservation and protection of agricultural lands, including information on agriculture's contribution to the state's economy, agriculture as economic development, and techniques for farmlands preservation and sustainable agriculture. An emphasis is on techniques for preserving farmland, including innovative zoning, transfer of development rights, right-to-farm programs, agricultural conservation easements, current use taxation, and others.
