Description
Although Texas is the second largest agricultural state in the nation, it surpasses all other states in prime farmland loss. The Blackland Prairie in rapidly developing Central Texas is one of the top 10 most threatened agricultural areas in the country. 19 Central Texas counties are facing more farmland loss than anywhere else in the country...only 11% of food available in Central Texas is grown locally. Most vegetables and fruits purchased in Central Texas travel an average of 1,500 miles, spending up to 3 weeks in transition from harvest to table, losing valuable nutrients along the way.
