1/4/2020 – Conservation Easement Policy
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is working to raise public awareness about the values of protecting critical lands such as farmland, wetlands, and other open spaces.
We pose this basic question: Do you know where the food you see in the grocery store comes from, and should consumers help protect the resources that generate that food?
