CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW to go to “Cattle Drive,” a multimedia report which explores the ways agriculture and open space groups are working together to keep the farming and ranching industries viable on Silicon Valley’s coast.
In an area with some of the fastest-rising housing and land prices in the country, farmers and ranchers are looking to partnerships to keep their operations alive, and old grievances are slowly fading as new pressures bring together those who work the land and those who would seek to protect it. Through video interviews, data visualizations and shoe-leather reporting, “Cattle Drive” takes a look at a sometimes neglected corner of the Bay Area where food production remains a way of life.
