state policy and sustainable agriculture
For those interested in state and local policy related to sustainable
agriculture,
A summary and evaluation of such policies has just been printed by
Kentucky Department of Agriculture. This report examines not only
statutory sustainable agriculture programs, but cost-share, farmland
preservation and various marketing programs including value-added, direct
marketing and farmers markets. The focus is on Midwestern and Southern
policy experiments.
This version of Delta Land and Community's paper
"Beyond commodity production: emerging state policies",
has been titled "Kentucky farms and markets: emerging policy
opportunities"
and is available from
