    Georgia is losing farmland fast. Is a state conservation fund enough to save it?

    Georgia's legislature allocated $2 million for the first year of the Georgia Farmland Conservation Fund to protect farmland from development. The program allows landowners to sell future development rights via conservation easements, with funding matched by state, local, and federal sources. Similar initiatives exist in 30 states, with varying levels of funding.
