Agricultural and Environmental Resource Economics

A growing concern for environmental quality and resource scarcity has led to numerous policy debates regarding resource utilization around the world. This is especially true when it comes to resource utilization in agriculture. This textbook strives to bring together economic theory and resource-specific problems of agriculture. It includes aggregate- and micro-level models and examples for most resource and environmental issues. Although the book's emphasis is on cropland agriculture, there are also examples from livestock, poultry, grazing, fisheries, orchards, and forestry.
