Sustainable Agriculture And Food Systems

This page provides information on commercial agriculture production for Sumter County.
Food is the indispensable cornerstone of human well-being. Food provides energy, water and nutrients to sustain life, promote health and build functional societies. The Global Food System is a dynamic and complex web of diverse cultures and values, international trade, markets, public and private institutions, farmers, ranchers and fishers, technology, genetic resources, environmental and bio-physical interactions.
