C. :United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service,1994.1 online resourceAgricultural handbook<2006>-Economic information bulletinThis report identifies trends in land, water, and biological resources and commercial input use, reports on the condition of natural resources used in the agricultural sector, and describes and assesses public policies that affect conservation and environmental quality in agriculture. Combining data and information, this report examines the complex connections among farming practices, conservation, and the environment, which are increasingly important components in U.S. agriculture and farm policy. The report also examines the economic factors that affect resource use and estimates costs and benefits to farmers, consumers, and the government of meeting conservation and environmental goals. The report takes stock of how natural resources (land, water and biological resources) and commercial inputs (nutrients, pesticides, seed and machinery) are used in the agricultural sector; shows how they contribute to environmental quality; and links use and quality to technological change, production practices, and farm programs.Environmental indicatorsUnited StatesPeriodicalsAgricultural resourcesUnited StatesPeriodicalsAgricultureEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesPeriodicalsAgricultural resourcesfastAgricultureEnvironmental aspectsfastEnvironmental indicatorsfastUnited StatesfastPeriodicals.fastEnvironmental indicatorsAgricultural resourcesAgricultureEnvironmental aspectsAgricultural resources.AgricultureEnvironmental aspects.Environmental indicators.333.76/16/0973United States.Department of Agriculture.Economic Research Service.GPOGPOOCLCQGPAOCLOCLCQOCLCOOCLCAOCLCFDLCOCLCOOCLCAGPODOCUMENT9910222224303321Agricultural resources and environmental indicators3110527UNINA
