Paul Faeth Although the notion of sustainable agriculture is attracting considerable interest, little information has been available for evaluating current levels of agricultural sustainability in the United States or the policy options that will best promote it. Integrating environmental and economic considerations, Growing Green presents the most comprehensive, empirically based analysis of U.S. agricultural sustainability ever produced. It provides policymakers with an essential tool for assessing the environmental and economic impacts of a broad range of policy options and evaluating many of the provisions of the 1995 Farm Bill including changes in program flexibility and alternative "green" payment provisions. This report reflects the results of a three-year study during which agronomic and environmental data that collected from 45 physical regions in the U.S. Using a unique economic model, the data were analyzed to compare predominant and alternative production systems across the country. 1995 / 120 pages |
