On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the value of agricultural land and how we can keep from losing it. Between 1982 and 2007, over 41 million acres of rural land in the US were developed. How much viable farmland is left? Where is it? Who owns it? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. Should we have a policy to protect farmland? What would that look like? How does the loss of farm land impact food production and local agriculture? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and You.
Guests:
Ed Thompson, California director & senior associate with the American Farmland Trust
Ned Conwell, co-founder of Blue House Farm in Pescadero and regional advocate for land access through Pie Ranch in San Mateo county.
Constance Washburn, community outreach director with the Marin Agricultural Land Trust
