According to the instructor, Thomas Benjamin….
“The most fundamental role of the Designer is to inspire and solve problems creatively and practically. Site design is both an art and science. Landscape designers are place-makers and space-shapers. Sustainable site design considers the impacts to future generations of the design solutions we choose to solve today’s problems. By thoughtfully synthesizing site information, namely the natural and human factors that affect a site, we can create forward-looking design solutions that well serve both our human constituents and the natural world well into the future.”

I would like to know if a non-US citizen can get/buy land in US for farming purpose. Will purchasing land for agriculture purpose give us a visa to move to US for a new career.
