Southeast Farm and Forest Land Summit to Address Regional Development Pressures on October 12

The Southeast Farm and Forest Land Summit will convene on October 12 in Tennessee to address the rising competition for agricultural and timber acreage across the region. The event focuses on the challenges surrounding land conversion, where the transition of farms and forests into housing and commercial developments limits the ability of young farmers to acquire or inherit land for agricultural operations.

Organizers scheduled the summit to examine the broader economic and social consequences of these land-use shifts. As property markets in the Southeast experience increased pressure from development, the availability of viable farmland continues to decline. The summit aims to provide a forum for stakeholders to discuss the impact of these trends on family farms and the future of the regional agricultural industry.
