This resource guide was assembled by a group of National Agricultural
Library (NAL) staff for distribution at
the symposium "Who Will Pay for On-Farm Environmental Improvements in the
21st Century?" held April 12,
2000 at NAL in Beltsville, Maryland.
The symposium offered individuals with different perspectives on the
economic aspects of agricultural
operations and environmental quality the opportunity to exchange views and
ideas on the topic. Agriculture in
the United States has historically produced a food supply that is
relatively inexpensive. That benefits our
society. However, agriculture, like other land uses, can have negative
impacts on the natural environment. That
detracts from our quality of life. To counter this, many people are
working toward the goal of protecting the
environment while maintaining the agricultural producer's ability to
operate a viable enterprise that provides an
adequate standard of living, contributes to the community and produces
high quality, affordable food.
The guide has two sections: The first contains literature citations
selected from AGRICOLA--NAL's database
of agricultural literature. Citations cover United States agriculture
during the past five years. To find additional
citations, search AGRICOLA. The second section contains annotated links to
selected World Wide Web sites
relevant to the topic.
