If cropland that shifts in and out of production is less productive and more environmentally sensitive than other cropland, policy-induced changes in land use could have production effects that are smaller-and environmental impacts that are greater-than anticipated. To illustrate this possibility, this report examines environmental outcomes stemming from land-use conversion caused by two agricultural programs that others have identified as potentially having important influences on land use and environmental quality: Federal crop insurance subsidies and the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Nation's largest cropland retirement program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibliogov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45120607977623,"sku":"9781249368076","price":1306.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781249368076.webp?v=1767275872","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/environmental-effects-of-agricultural-land-use-change-the-role-of-economics-and-policy-9781249368076","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
