Family farms
After 1980, many family farms faced economic pressures due to factors like rising land prices, increased production costs, and market volatility, leading to a wave of sales and consolidations. As a result, numerous small farms were sold to larger agribusinesses or converted into corporate farms, reducing the number of family-operated farms significantly. This shift often resulted in the loss of traditional farming practices and a decline in rural community vitality. Additionally, the consolidation has led to concerns about food sovereignty and the sustainability of local food systems.
Since 1980, many farmers have sold or left their farms due to a combination of economic pressures, including rising production costs, fluctuating commodity prices, and increasing competition from larger agribusinesses. Additionally, factors such as the consolidation of farmland, changes in agricultural policies, and challenges related to climate change have made it difficult for small and medium-sized farms to remain profitable. Many younger generations have also opted for off-farm employment opportunities, leading to a decline in the number of family-owned farms. This trend has contributed to a significant shift in the agricultural landscape.
