Felicia Bell knows that, because she's a sustainable agriculture specialist who does just that for farmers in the Gulf States region. As a fourth-generation Mississippi farmer, Bell grew up learning "traditional agriculture" on her family's self-sufficient homestead. She works today to encourage other farmers - including her sons in their family business, RD & S Farm - to have this same care for the land.
