Appalachian Food and Sustainability

When it comes to food and sustainability, the Appalachian Mountains are a great place to live. There are several family farms all across this region. The is an organization called the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, which helps people to know what foods are locally grown so that residents can support the local farmers and keep the farms going. In 2005, North Carolina had the highest rate of losing agricultural land, so the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project has been working hard to keep farmland in the Appalachian Mountains.
