Saving farmland

WE cannot sacrifice farmland to build a new countryside.

Yes, some farmers may prefer to move from traditional low buildings into high-rise buildings. But they often have no money to buy into highrises. As such, they likely will mortgage their land to calculating real estate developers. The inevitable result: Those farmers move into high-rises but lose farmland - the very source of their life.
