Скачать или смотреть NY farmland continuing to decrease, 14% lost between 2012 and 2022

The New York State Department of Agriculture says the decrease in farmland over the last decade is concerning, especially in a critical time for the industry.

A November State Comptroller says: "Between 2012 and 2022, the State lost close to 14 percent of its farms and over 9 percent of farmland. At the national level, farms and farmland are declining as well, but since 2017, New York is losing these resources faster than the U.S."

With that in mind, urban farms have take on a new role in helping overcome those challenges in not just the economic sense, but also feeding the population. Those farms though, say they need the resources to do it.
