The “Culture” of Agriculture
The Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission
(SMADC) recently marked its 10th anniversary of
developing our region’s agricultural economy and promoting
profitable, market-driven farming.
The
dictionary defines ‘culture’ as socially transmitted behavior
patterns. While SMADC’s branding campaign (www.SoMarylandSoGood.com)
and its other initiatives have resulted in a new picture of
agriculture, the ‘culture’ of agriculture, i.e., ensuring
that today’s agricultural heritage is passed on to future
generations is now paramount.
Land-Link is a tool to socially transmit valuable
information. At its foundation, it is a database to link
those with land to farm with those who are seeking
opportunities to farm. Its other layers allow for on-line
mentoring and an active forum for sharing of information.
Land-link programs have proven their worth across the country
and SMADC surveys indicate that the need for a robust program
in our region is needed and wanted.
The tool is currently active, but needs engagement from
stakeholders. Log on to www.marylandfarmlink.com
now to register (free!) and begin listing, posting and
mentoring.
Questions should be directed to Dr. Christine Bergmark,
Executive Director, Southern Maryland Agricultural
Development Commission 301-274-1922.
