Fertile Ground
Nutrient Trading's Potential to Cost-Effectively Improve Water Quality

Paul Faeth

In this report, the author proposes a way out of the cost vs pollution control dilemma. Using three case studies in three states, Paul Faeth develops a framework to assess the cost effectiveness of various policies and combinations of policies to reduce phosphorus loads in specific watersheds. In all three cases, policy approaches incroporating nutrient trading programs are dramatically less expensive than conventional approaches and can achieve comparable benefits.
