2008 Public Within the past three years, I have developed a keen interest in assisting the greater community of eastern North Carolina with planning the re-development of the vast amount of farmland acreage on the coastal plain for sustainable agricultural production. With the loss of flue-cured tobacco as the primary cash crop of the region, it is essential that the University community steps forward to provide assistance with identifying alternative farming ventures that can contribute to economic growth, while sustaining and protecting our natural resources and preserving our region's heritage that has evolved over the past 200-plus years. Currently, I am working with a team of specialists at ECU to develop a long-term program to support and advance sustainable alternative farming throughout the region. Our objectives are simple: (1) to contribute to the continued economic development of the ENC region; (2) to improve the quality of natural resources throughout the ENC region by diversifying the utilization of land for multiple purposes; (3) to assist with reducing unemployment rates and sub-standard household income by expanding entrepreneurial opportunities for citizens of the ENC region; and (4) to contribute to the quality of life of citizens of the ENC region as a result of improved dietary practices, improved accessibility of high-quality, locally-grown fresh organic foods, and the lowering of healthcare costs.
