Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Local Farms: A Research Study

The following paper was written by the creators of this site in an effort to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on farms in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties. During the creation of this site, the students noticed many common trends farms saw at the beginning of the pandemic which led to another study to interpret how the pandemic has shaped farm operations and finances over time. The research study was published in the FFA Agriscience Fair and placed in the top three nationally. To learn more about the impact of the pandemic on local farms, the full paper is below.

About Us:

Welcome! We are so glad you are here. This site was inspired by our desire to help local farmers and business owners on the Central Coast get through this difficult time. We began this project in April 2020 when we were freshmen at San Luis Obispo High School, enrolled in an agriculture biology class, which requires a project related to agriculture every trimester. We have continued this project throughout our time in high school.

 

We hope our time aids in shining a light on local farmers and business owners on the Central Coast while significantly decreasing the amount of wasted food. 

Additioanlly, we'd like to thank our agriculture teachers Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Evans for their continued support.
