the defination of Agricultural incentive zoning

Agricultural incentive zoning is a land use planning tool that encourages the preservation of agricultural land by offering incentives to landowners who agree to maintain their property for agricultural purposes. This type of zoning often includes provisions for reduced taxes, increased density allowances, and other benefits for farmers who maintain their land for agricultural use. The goal of agricultural incentive zoning is to promote the long-term sustainability of agriculture by preserving and protecting farmland from development pressures.
