Who will be farming the 430 acres of land that will be transferred to public ownership?

Some of the land will likely be farmed by existing Delta farmers. Delta can also grow new farmers by making land available to the next generation of farmers for learning, starting new farm ventures and embracing new sustainable farming methods and technologies.

The fact that the 430 acres is contiguous allows for maximum future flexibility in apportioning lands for various farm sizes.

The agricultural activity that takes place on the land can be human-scale (versus industrial-scale), using high intensity, low-input, high-value-output, urban-friendly farming methods based on ecologically responsible farm practices.
