Authorized by the North Carolina General Assembly in the 1985 Farmland Preservation Enabling Act (61:106-738) and implemented at the county level, Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VADs) and Enhanced Voluntary Agricultural Districts (EVADs) help form partnerships between farmers, county commissioners and land use planners to pass ordinances that encourage the voluntary preservation of farmland, support the productive use of agricultural land, and protect land from urban development.
VADs and EVADs are part of the North Carolina Agricultural Districts program, which recognizes the importance of agriculture in North Carolina and fosters growth, development and sustainability of family farms. As of June 2004, 39 of North Carolina’s 100 counties had passed farmland preservation ordinances establishing VAD programs. |
