The annual local economic impact of agribusiness in Virginia Beach is more than $191 million. This industry is vital to our existence. It provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis, and it is increasingly contributing to fuel and other bio-products. Locally, farmers are increasingly diversifying, from common crops including soybeans, corn and wheat to pick-your-own strawberries and even a growing horse population.
The Virginia Beach 4-H Youth Development program serves the youth in our community through hands-on projects in areas like agriculture and civic engagement.
Virginia Dare Soil & Water Conservation District provides leadership in conservation of soil, water and related natural resources for Virginia Beach.
