Agricultural land across Middle Tennessee is being lost or is threatened. Development is consuming and fragmenting farms. The cost of land makes it difficult for the next generation of farmers to acquire land.

  • What is the status of agriculture in the region? 

  • What are the threats to its future?

  • How can city/counties protect agricultural lands through better land use decisions and planning?

  • What could the state do to better protect agriculture?

These are some of the questions that will be addressed during this online forum.
