Agricultural Zoning

Agricultural zoning is a land use regulation that designates specific areas for farming and agricultural activities. It aims to protect farmland from being developed for non-agricultural uses, such as residential or commercial buildings. By establishing these zones, local governments help ensure that agricultural practices can thrive, preserve open spaces, and maintain food production. Agricultural zoning can also restrict certain types of development in these areas to prevent conflicts between farming and urban activities, promoting a balance between agriculture and community growth.
