Economist reports to be released on agriculture conservation


    The Council on Food, Agriculture and Resource Economics will release a series of papers from leading economists aimed at informing the policy discussion and elevating the importance of conservation as a major economic issue in the 2012 Farm Bill and beyond.
    The papers, part of "The Conservation Crossroads in Agriculture" series, will tackle four key areas of concern, including:
    • Designing maximum benefit, cost-efficient conservation programs;
    • Economic and environmental implications of reducing the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP);
    • The impact of crop insurance subsidies on conservation choices and land use; and
    • Examining the relationship of the changing federal incentive structure for the Conservation Compliance programs and the future impact of the program.
