TOWARD AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: APPLYING LESSONS FROM CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Arcenas,   Agustin.
Many business firms both in the U.S. and abroad are practicing corporate environmental management.  They are committed to improving the efficiency of material use, energy use and water use; to recycle; to make safer products and processes and to reduce their overall impact on the environment.  In pursuing corporate environmental management, some businesses have found that the presumed tradeoff between profits and environmental quality does not always apply.  Instead, by innovating and redesigning their products, processes, corporate culture, and organizational strategy, these firms have been able to improve environmental performance and add to profits.  These improved profits are sometimes referred to as "innovation offsets" because they result from...

TRANSGENIC CROPS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: MISSING MARKETS AND PUBLIC ROLE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Ervin,   David E.
The rapidity of change has left scant opportunity for investigation of the consequences of biotechnology adoption on long-term ecosystem or economic system functioning. Economic theory suggests that, if the "Biotechnology Revolution" is left to market forces alone,there will be neglected public goods. Theory and limited empirical evidence suggests that there are significant incentives for private firms to discount and neglect certain environmental impacts and to develop products that meet only the needs of those able and willing to pay. Negative distributional impacts on rural societies and economies will not normally enter the private calculus nor will the long-term problems of insect and plant resistance. Thus, there is a strong case for enhanced public...

FQPA IMPLEMENTATION TO REDUCE PESTICIDE RESIDUE RISKS: PART I: AGRICULTURAL PRODUCER CONCERNS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Swinton,   Scott M.; Schulz,   Mary A.
The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) transforms the regulation of pesticide residues on food in the United States.  Three changes are prominent.  First, under the FQPA, the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized to develop uniform pesticide residue tolerances for both fresh and processed foods.  These tolerances must be based on a conservative standard appropriate for infants and children, rather than the adult-based tolerances that prevailed previously for fresh-market produce.  Second, under the FQPA, pesticide registration will be based upon aggregate risk to the most susceptible consumers from all pesticides sharing a common biochemical mode of action in humans.  Third, the FQPA expands the scope of health effects included...

VIRGINIA FARMERS' SOIL CONSERVATION DECISIONS: AN APPLICATION OF TOBIT ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Norris,   Patricia E.; Batie,   Sandra S.
Using data from a survey of farm operators in two Virginia counties, the authors analyze farmers' soil conservation decisions. Results indicate that financial factors, including income and debt, are the most important influences on the sample farmers' use of conservation practices. Additional factors such as perception of erosion, education level, off-farm employment, and tenancy also influence conservation expenditures. Factors influencing conservation tillage acreage differ from those influencing expenditures for other conservation practices. In particular, age and race of the operator and on-farm erosion potential are significantly related to the use of conservation tillage but not other practices. These results are discussed in terms of their...

USING SPATIAL INFORMATION TO REDUCE COSTS OF CONTROLLING AGRICULTURAL NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carpentier,   Chantal Line; Bosch,   Darrell J.; Batie,   Sandra S.
Reducing costs of controlling nonpoint source (NPS) pollution will be a high public priority in the next century.  Compliance and transaction costs of reducing nitrogen runoff from dairies in the Lower Susquehanna Watershed by 40% are estimated for perfectly targeted and uniform performance standards.  The perfectly targeted standard reduces compliance and transaction costs by almost 75% compared with the uniform standard.  Future NPS control policies should use spatial information to target policy resources to priority concerns, areas, and farms.  Further research is needed to lower the costs and increase the accuracy of spatial information.

An Economic Analysis of Soil Erosion Control and Low-Input Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diebel,   Penelope L.; Taylor,   Daniel B.; Batie,   Sandra S.; Heatwole,   Conrad D.
The Chesapeake Bay is a major water resource whose quality has been threatened by soil erosion and agrichemical contamination. The control of agricultural pollution of the Bay is one of the focal points of the 1987 Chesapeake Bay agreement formed by four states in the Bay's watershed (Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia). Among the suggested solutions is the promotion of low-input agricultural practices. However, some low-input practices also include frequent cultivations of the soil for non-chemical weed control practices, which may induce erosion. This analysis uses a case study approach to determine agricultural practice selection and potential erosion under different soil erosion constraints. A multi-period mathematical...

ISSUES AND ALTERNATIVES IN THE 1995 FARM BILL DEBATE: IMPLICATIONS OF THE URUGUAY ROUND OF GATT NEGOTIATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Schweikhardt,   David B.
The recently completed round of negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade focused on domestic and international agricultural policies. If this agreement is approved by Congress, U.S. agricultural programs must comply with GATT provisions.  The policy choices made during the 1995 farm bill debate about domestic programs, import policies, and export programs could all be affected by the approval of GATT.

The Multifunctional Attributes of Northeastern Agriculture: A Research Agenda
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.
In the United States' Northeastern region, there is an increasing interest in the public benefits from agriculture. These benefits are frequently referred to as multifunctional attributes. The policy challenge is to find an effective way to reflect these public demands so that multifunctional agriculture can be profitable. There is a significant research agenda that accompanies this challenge. Research topics include assessing and understanding consumer demand for multifunctional attributes, estimating the long-run returns to those production systems which supply these attributes, and designing and evaluating institutional arrangements to supply them.

GREEN PAYMENTS AS FORESHADOWED BY EQIP
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.
This paper addresses the potential of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program to become the first true green payment program, one which is not directly linked to farm income goals as all conservation programs have been in the past, even in contrast to the Conservation Reserve Program and the now obsolete Agricultural Conservation Program.  EQIP is thus discussed as a new generation of conservation programs which are General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade-legal (no payments to farmers which may influence trade) and more targeted to actual agro-environmental problems than the traditional conservation programs.  In the next sections, the paper raises two important questions: First, to what extent should green payments substitute for traditional commodity...

Commodity programs will again be at the center of the debate as consideration of the 1995 farm bill begins. A wide range of alternatives will be proposed as 1995 approaches. Each of these proposals would affect Michigan farmers, regardless of whether they participate in existing farm programs. Given the diversity of Michigan agriculture, few states have as much at stake in the upcoming farm bill debate as does Michigan.

ISSUES AND ALTERNATIVES IN THE 1995 FARM BILL DEBATE: THE CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Schweikhardt,   David B.
The future of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) will be a pivotal issue in the 1995 farm bill debate. Established under the Food Security Act of 1985, the original objectives of the CRP were to provide a voluntary form of supply control and to reduce soil erosion by retiring highly erodible land on a long-term basis. The latter objective was expanded in 1990 to include retirement of lands for the purpose of protecting water quality.

Autores: Schweikhardt,   David B.; Batie,   Sandra S.; Doering,   Otto C., III; Jones,   Bob F.
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have written farm bills that contain major revisions in farm commodity programs. Differences in these bills, House bill HR 2854 and Senate bill S 1541, must now be resolved by a Conference Committee, approved by a final vote of both houses of Congress, and signed by the President. Though differences in the bills do exist, the bills contain many similar provisions that appear likely to be included in the final version of the bill. This paper summarizes the major provisions of these bills and identifies areas where differences must be resolved by the Conference Committee.

INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES AND STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: VIEW FROM WITHIN THE LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Batie,   Sandra S.; Swinton,   Scott M.
Sustainable agricultural research and education have gained acceptability within the land-grant system in less than a decade, an impressive change. Attitudes were changed by a set of forces which include lobbying by sustainable agriculture advocates, requests from farmers as a result of the cost-price squeeze of the early 1980's, changing demands for both environmental quality and less pesticide residues from food consumers, and the availability of new funding sources.  Despite its hard-won acceptability, there are tensions with respect to sustainable agriculture within the land-grant system. Sustainable agricultural issues are not yet integrated into the fabric of the land-grant institution. In order to integrate it fully, challenges remain in three key...

Nearly every aspect of Michigan Agriculture is affected by the farm bill. Farm program payments are a major source of income (25 percent of Michigan's net farm income in recent years has come from farm program payments - Figure 1), conservation compliance requirements are beginning to affect production decisions, and export programs affect market prices. All farmers in Michigan will be affected by the decisions made in 1995, regardless of whether they currently participate in farm programs or produce program crops.

Tradeoffs Between Water Quality and the Economic Impacts of Low-Input Agriculture in the Coastal Plain of Virginia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diebel,   Penelope L.; Taylor,   Daniel B.; Batie,   Sandra S.; Heatwole,   Conrad D.
Agricultural activities have been identified as major contributors to the non-point pollution of the Chesapeake Bay. Low-input agricultural practices are being considered to reduce pollution in areas adjoining the Chesapeake Bay. A multiperiod mathematical programming model was used to examine the potential adoption of low-input practices and to assess the environmental consequences of these activities under different policies. The results of these analyses indicate that tradeoffs exist among the types of non-point pollution produced under each policy. Only policies that retired productive agricultural land reduced all pollutant types.

FQPA IMPLEMENTATION TO REDUCE PESTICIDE RESIDUE RISKS: PART II: IMPLEMENTATION ALTERNATIVES AND STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Swinton,   Scott M.; Batie,   Sandra S.; Schulz,   Mary A.
Implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) is fraught with difficulty due to the divergent perspectives and demands of stakeholders in the process.  In "Part I: Agricultural Producer Concerns," the authors reviewed the concerns of food producers about potential FQPA threats to farm profitability, international competitiveness, consumer perceptions, and the development of pest resistance to remaining pesticides.   Fortunately, lessons from past environmental policy and economic theory offer useful principles for how to implement the FQPA.  This paper, "Part II: Implementation Alternatives and Strategies" addresses ways to accommodate producer concerns while meeting the policy mandate of reducing risk from pesticide exposure, especially for...

THE PORTER HYPOTHESIS, PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND INNOVATION OFFSETS: THE CASE OF SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN PORK PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Srivastava,   Lorie; Batie,   Sandra S.; Norris,   Patricia E.
The Porter Hypothesis relates the effects of environmental regulation on (a) technological innovation and (b) economic performance.  Specifically, it asserts that innovation offsets can occur.  These are a type of technological change that will "partially or more than fully offset the costs of complying with environmental regulation" (Porter and van der Linde, 1995, p. 98).  The hypothesis has been highly debated, in part, because nomenclature has been careless.  Also, the role of property rights in defining innovation offsets has been neglected.  If the Porter Hypothesis has validity in agriculture, its policy implications are important.  Recent changes in agro-environmental legislation provides an opportunity to more thoroughly investigate the hypothesis...

As contractual agriculture expands, contract design offers a non-regulatory opportunity to reduce non-point source pollution.  A risk programming analysis of seed corn contract designs illustrates a tractable empirical principal-agent model, and shows that grower risk preferences affect contract acceptability and efficiency at reducing nitrate leaching.

AN ANALYSIS OF SITUATION, STRUCTURE, CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE IN AIR EMISSION AND WATERSHED EFFLUENT MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Norris,   Patricia E.; Brown,   Elaine M.; Batie,   Sandra S.
After much debate and many legislative proposals, the Clean Air Act was amended in 1990 to allow more flexibility in meeting emissions standards for SO2. Specifically, an SO2 emissions allowance trading program was implemented.  Firms can meet emission standards by any pollution control method, including buying emission allowances from other firms. Analysts have concluded that, with the changes in the Clean Air Act, SO2 emissions have been reduced by 50 percent and at an estimated $7 billion less than the anticipated cost of the regulatory command-and-control system.   Not surprisingly, policy analysts have explored the opportunities for implementing similar market-based systems for water pollution control.  Because much of the on-going impairment of...
