Economic Opportunities

Topics:

  • Agritourism
    The "locally grown" trend is also creating interest in farm and ranch tours, adding a potential revenue stream to agriculture operations.
  • Carbon Sequestration
    Fast-growing forests and low-impact farming practices can take carbon out of the atmosphere.
  • Easements
    Conservation easements on agricultural lands can add a revenue stream that helps improve economic viability.
  • Energy Production
    Forest and farm byproducts can become biomass to generate energy.
  • Local Markets
    Local sales to restaurants, farmers' markets and households improve profits and reduce the distance our food travels.
