According to the National Young Farmers Coalition (Young Farmers), finding affordable land to buy is the number one reason farmers are leaving agriculture, the top challenge for current farmers, and the primary barrier preventing aspiring farmers from getting started. In this article, Benu speaks about why we need land and the importance of supporting local farmers as well as recognizing that land (Mother Earth) is a part of us as much as we are a part of nature.
