Threatened by encroaching construction and soil erosion, these lands were seen as endangered?and as the direct prelude to a nationwide shortage of both food and fiber. The NALS report, to which eleven federal agencies contributed, argued that landuse planning and control must be employed to protect valuable farmland from ?urban sprawl.? First published in 1984, this collection of essays by a distinguished group of economists, including Theodore W. Schultz, Julian L. Simon, and Pierre Crosson, takes issue with the belief that croplands need governmental protection. Rather, the collection as a whole supports two theses: 1) shrinking farm acreage is not a serious problem, and 2) individual choices by landowners in a free market setting result in betterorganized land use than would governmental landuse planning and regulation. 410 0$aStudies in Government and Public Policy Series 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAgriculture 610 $aUnited States of America 610 $aFarming industry 610 $aNational Agricultural Lands Study 615 7$aFood & society 676 $a333.76/0973 700 $aBaden$b John$4edt$0289470 701 $aBaden$b John$0289470 712 02$aPolitical Economy Research Center. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482011503321 996 $aThe Vanishing Farmland Crisis$92429783 997 $aUNINA
