Episode Details

Wake County just passed its first-ever farmland preservation plan — a bold, ten-year strategy to stop the loss of precious agricultural land. With over 36,000 acres vanished in the last decade — more than two towns — officials are racing to protect what’s left before it’s too late. The plan tackles funding, policy, and community priorities, already securing 400+ acres with $20 million in conservation easements. By 2029, they aim to protect 1,000 acres — making sure farming doesn’t vanish from the county’s future.
