“When we lose enough farmland that our productivity has not kept up with the loss of farmland, that means the food supply is going away. We need to feed ourselves. Food is security, national security,” said N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler.

North Carolina has recently surpassed Texas as the nation’s top destination for new residents, according to a Jan. 30 press release by Gov. Josh Stein. The influx of people, along with major business recruitment efforts, has accelerated development across the state.
Troxler said about $5 million in recurring state funds is allocated annually for farmland preservation, with an additional $1 million in carryover funds this year. That brings the total to roughly $6 million — far below the amount requested.
