Julia Soondar took on the challenge of examining the tension between the critical contributions Florida’s agricultural land offers to the state’s food system, the environment, the economy, and various stakeholders, and concerns over the social, environmental, and economic consequences of the trend to convert agricultural land for private development. Her Capstone explores the feasibility of a new state-level policy that would preserve Florida’s agricultural lands through a combination of tax relief, agricultural districting, leasing programs and the creation of a farmer network. The objective with this food policy project is to strengthen resilience in the Florida agricultural sector through institutional architecture at the state level.
