USDA:
Agricultural Resources and Environmental Indicators, 2000
This 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 (energy, 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. (For data on years 96- 97: http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/ah712/)
