Planning for Agriculture
Planning is a public process to envision the future and help us prepare for future needs. All 50 states have enabling laws that support planning and delegate some planning authority to local governments. Collectively, they plan for a wide range of public needs from transportation and housing to economic development and environmental protection. But they rarely plan for farms, farmland, or food.
