Sustaining Agriculture

All types of agriculture – whether large commercial agribusiness or small local farm - need sun, water, good land, and access to infrastructure. Urban growth through development often demands the same resources. This research focused on understanding existing local agriculture, how to encourage economically sustainable local agriculture and maintain needed resources for agriculture given the pressures of urban growth in the Treasure Valley.
