Why are many Puerto Ricans becoming farmers?

Puerto Rico has been experiencing a farming revolution in recent years, driven by a mix of necessity, innovation, and sustainability efforts.

This reliance became a major issue after Hurricane Maria in 2017, which devastated local farms and disrupted supply chains. In response, a new wave of farmers, entrepreneurs, and activists have emerged, pushing for a more self-sufficient and sustainable agricultural system for the island.
