Description
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 agriculture. This important new textbook in the Oxford Series in Biological Resource Management brings together economic theory and resource-specific problems of agriculture and presents aggregate and micro-level models and examples for most resource and environmental issues. The discussions emphasize cropland agriculture, and also include examples from livestock, poultry, grazing, fisheries, orchards, and forestry. Students and professionals in resource economics, management, and allocation will benefit from this timely work as will economists and planners in government agencies.
