Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hobby farms might be a positive development if the purpose of agricultural land protection is to slow development and retain open space and if hobby farming is not a first step in the direction of urban use of the land. [...] We test whether hobby farmers affect prices inside and outside the ALR, and identify what implications this has for the effectiveness of the ALR and other policy measures to protect agriculture in the urban shadow. [...] We compare the results of two approaches for investigating the divergence between the price paid by conventional and hobby farmers in relation to the ALR. [...] The latter consists primarily of the Fraser Valley on the mainland (near Vancouver) and the Saanich Peninsula near Victoria on southern Vancouver Island that offers a climate capable of growing the widest variety of crops in Canada. [...] We also included an interaction term between the ALR and the hobby farm dummy variable to test whether the use of land for hobby purposes affects land prices differently within and outside the ALR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As land is lost to urban sprawl and other non-farm activity, our ability to produce food is diminished and options for future food production are limited. Farmland preservation speaks to the need to preserve the agricultural land base for future generations. The need for protection is driven by uncertainty caused by climate change, population growth, food security, energy availability, and other local and global factors. This uncertainty means that there is an ever-growing responsibility to ensure that the actions of today do not compromise the needs of future generations. This second edition of Farmland Preservation provides a range of views and case studies from across Canada, the United States, and beyond. Its fourteen essays are intended to help the reader understand the importance of the issue and the potential for applying new approaches to agricultural protection, policy tools, and initiatives.

Book excerpt: Intended for geography professors, researchers, and undergraduate students, this publication focuses on the important issues surrounding the urbanization of agricultural land, the assessment of the relative effectiveness of policy responses, and an assessment of opportunities for change in approaches toward farmland preservation. Emphasis is on agricultural land in Canada and the United States. There are seven chapters. The focus of chapter 1 is on urban growth and the competition for agricultural land, including a discussion of government intervention. Land conversion processes are discussed in the second chapter. Chapter 3 deals with land resources for food production, discussing how valuable farmland is defined, the agroclimatic resource index, existing and potential agricultural resources, and implications for the future. The fourth chapter treats the topic of agricultural land conversion. Planning to protect farmland and studies in farmland protection are the topics of chapters 5 and 6, respectively. The concluding chapter discusses agricultural land resources for the future. An appendix of commonly used acronyms and a bibliography are provided. (RM)

Book excerpt: In this study, I investigate methods of strengthening British Columbiás Agricultural Land Reserve, which protects farmland by restricting non-farm uses within its boundaries. Surveys of BC residents have consistently shown support for the Reserve, yet the quality of its land and the strength of the legislation protecting it have decreased over time. The Agricultural Land Commission, the body that manages the Reserve, continually approves applications to exclude prime farmland from the Reserve while including land into it that may never be suitable for agriculture. I examine the management policies of four successful North American reserves and discover that they have several main characteristics in common. Drawing on these findings, I propose four policy alternatives. After evaluating these alternatives based on a set of criteria, I recommend that the Agricultural Land Commission place a moratorium on applications to exclude land from the Reserve after completing a planning process with municipal governments.

Download or read book Saving Farmland written by Nathalie Chambers and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Nathalie Chambers and her husband, David, first took over Madrona Farm, 27 acres on southern Vancouver Island with a deep history, they never thought their small-scale agricultural business would blossom into an international political act. As pressures from heirs, land developers and industrial farmers grew alongside their rows of organically produced food, the Chambers took action. Considered by many to be revolutionary and by some to be rebellious, their story opened many eyes to the future of food. Saving Farmland introduces readers to stories of lost farmland and bees saving lives. It shows how sustainability, ecosystems and biodiversity transcend the paradox of our own, man-made losses. Saving Farmland describes overcoming obstacles, choosing models, identifying vital farmland, building community and fundraising. Concluding stories of commonly shared land, international trusts, regained farmland and several heroes provide ongoing inspiration. This practical book teems with fascinating history and facts. Saving Farmland will help us all support local farming and sustainable land development so we can indulge in good eating—forever.

Download or read book Multifunctional Rural Land Management written by Floor Brouwer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing demand for rural land and its natural resources is creating competition and conflicts. Many interested parties, including farmers, nature conservationists, rural residents and tourists, compete for the same space. Especially in densely populated areas, agriculture, recreation, urban and suburban growth and infrastructure development exert a constant pressure on rural areas. Because land is a finite resource, spatial policies which are formulated and implemented to increase the area allocated to one use imply a decrease in land available for other uses. As a result, at many locations, multi-purpose land use is becoming increasingly important. This notion of multi-purpose land use is reflected in the term 'multifunctionality'. This volume provides insights into viable strategies of sustainable management practices allowing multiple functions sustained by agriculture and natural resources in rural areas. It shows how the rural economy and policies can balance and cope with these competing demands and includes numerous case studies from Europe, North America and developing countries.
