Introduction: public policy and the urbanization of farmland

Journal Article · · Int. Reg. Sci. Rev.; (United States)
Public debate over farmland conversion has focused on the magnitude, the social costs, and whether public land-use policies are appropriate and effective. A review of the problems of farmland protection and equity concludes that the issues are best dealt with at a local level, and that excessive urbanization of good farmland is not the primary problem. 21 references.
