The American food system is incredibly vulnerable. With the average U.S. farm being 57 years old, 70% of farmland will change hands in the next 20 years, and that land will not necessarily stay within a family due to the decline in family farming. Additionally, the current system is based on large corporations producing single crops and in the process creating irreversible environmental damage. However, organizations like Viva Farms are entering the picture to provide young small-scale farmers with education, training, capital and land to combat the current unsustainable situation. 3BL Media
