Staff Reports
Rapid growth in western North Carolina in recent years has brought with it new challenges including sprawl, habitat loss and a scarcity of affordable farmland.
To discuss these and related topics, Sustainable Now will present the Four Futures for Mountain Farmland Symposium with the theme “Rethinking Sustainability and Land Use in the Mountain Area” from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday in the Canon Lounge at Warren Wilson College.
