The amount of acreage planted annually to vegetables in American agriculture varies widely, with major crops including tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and lettuce. They vary according to the climatic conditions and demand in each region, with irrigation being a key factor in arid regions such as California and Arizona. Additionally, organic vegetable production has increased in recent years, and efforts towards sustainable agriculture are also being seen. Different vegetables are produced in different states with different specialisations, which impacts domestic and international supply.
