Oregon Agricultural Land Preservation

Oregon Agricultural Land Preservation refers to laws and policies aimed at protecting farmland in Oregon from urban development and other non-agricultural uses. The goal is to ensure that farmland remains available for farming and food production. This is achieved through zoning regulations, conservation easements, and other measures that limit how land can be used. By preserving agricultural land, Oregon can maintain its agricultural economy, protect natural resources, and promote local food systems, while also balancing growth and land use in urban areas.
