Agriculture is the Commonwealth’s largest industry. Although fewer Americans are raised on farms today than 50 years ago, it’s important for Virginians to be aware of our food, fiber and natural resource systems and appreciate the value of agriculture in our daily lives. According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the industry has an economic impact of $70 billion annually and provides more than 334,000 jobs in the Commonwealth.
