Agriculture
Agriculture as a domain covers everything between the field and the loading dock — how food gets grown, who grows it, what protections exist for the people doing the growing, and what public infrastructure (extension services, conservation programs, crop insurance, USDA loans and subsidies) shapes the economics. The PA-3 piece will need to attend to the gradient between dense urban Philadelphia and the surrounding agricultural land, where federal farm policy and Pennsylvania farmland preservation programs both apply.
