Ecological Fiscal Reform and Agricultural Landscapes:Analysis of Economic Instruments: Conservation Cover Incentive Program
Description
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate a conservation cover incentive program as one of a suite of potential fiscal instruments to aid in increasing the ecological integrity of the agricultural landscapes of Canada. To this end the study will attempt to quantify the benefits and costs attributable to converting annual crop land to perennial vegetative cover that is no longer used for agricultural purposes.
