The Tennessee Farmland Legacy Partnership is a group of a dozen government, university and nonprofit agencies working to raise awareness about the state’s agricultural history and the importance of farmland to its future.
Solar farms are popping up across Tennessee. They can exist on as little as one acre of land and use ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels, generating 1 megawatt of electricity on around 5,000 panels.
The demand for locally grown food has fueled extraordinary growth in farmers’ markets across Tennessee. The state has 115 farmers’ markets listed through its Pick Tennessee Products online directory.
The local food movement is an emerging trend in consumer demand and the website Pick Tennessee Products allows Tennesseans to search for local products in their area.
