Flooding Farmland: Eastern VA Farmers Navigate Sea Level Rise

Flooding Farmland: Eastern VA Farmers Navigate Sea Level Rise

Farming has been a part of life and business around coastal Virginia for centuries. But now farmland is gradually succumbing to the rising seas. Farmers are watching their land flood and crops die as the region experiences the fastest average rate of sea level rise on the Atlantic coast. It’s making them question whether agriculture will be a sustainable source of income in the future.
