Agriculture 2040/2070

Agriculture is a mainstay of Florida’s economy, with its lands also providing essential ecosystem services. Building on Sea Level 2040/2070, Agriculture 2040/2070 focuses on the impacts of future development and sea level rise on agricultural lands and the many values they provide, with a discussion on strategies to keep lands in production and protect conservation values. Presenters include the University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Director Tom Hoctor, and Associate Director Michael Volk who undertook the GIS-based study, and Jim Strickland, owner of Strickland Ranch, vice chair of the Florida Conservation Group, and past president of the Florida Cattleman’s Association. The webinar concludes with questions and answers.  Visit the Agriculture 2040/2070 webpage for more resources.
