The economic fundamentals of virtual fencing compared to traditional fencing
Virtual fencing (VF) for livestock is being commercialized by several companies in the United States. • Ranchers and land managers are interested in the potential benefits of VF but have reservations about its cost. • Cost structures of VF systems vary and are different from physical fencing, making direct comparisons difficult. • We explore relevant costs and outline scenarios where VF systems are likely to be cost effective. • We discuss practi…
How Sense of Place Influences Willingness to Pay for Sustainable Wolf Populations
U.S. livestock producer interest in alternatives to compensation programs for wolf depredation
Comment on Eaton et al.’s Reconceptualization of Economic Dependence in “Trouble with Sense of Place in Working Landscapes”
This commentary expands upon Eaton et al.’s research note about the challenges of measuring sense of place (SOP). Our body of work includes qualitative and quantitative research that supports their finding that landowners have a strong SOP and conservation ethic about their working lands. However, we deliberate on the importance of considering a broader interpretation of “economic dependence” in the context of SOP, which may include financial and…
Trading on risk
Water quality trading (WQT) is a popular policy for improving the quality of waterways across the United States by reducing water pollution. However, in established markets, few trades are happening, making environmental gains from WQT limited. Despite these trends, policy makers continue to implement this market-based approach to achieve clean water. Successful markets rely on stakeholders' willingness to buy and sell in the market, yet research…
Household preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for freshwater quality improvement in Pakistan’s Swat River Valley
Toward a Synthesis
To integrate lessons from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institute of Food and Agriculture–Conservation Effects Assessment Project (NIFA CEAP) program, key informant (KI) interviews were conducted in all 13 project areas. The purpose of these interviews was to supplement technical information about watersheds, their contaminants, modeling, economics, and key findings. We interviewed a wide range of people to develop a systema…
Sustainable value of degraded soils in China's Loess Plateau
China's Loess Plateau is a highly distressed region where intensive crop production has been undermined by high soil erosion rates that threaten the long-term livelihood of its inhabitants. Regional policy goals aim to balance economic performance with the sustainable use of natural resources. From a practical perspective, challenges arise when measuring sustainability levels that mix multiple dimensions, scales, and benchmarks. This study addres…
Disparate Stakeholder Management
For resource decisions to make the most possible progress toward achieving agency mandates, managers must work with stakeholders and may need to at least partially accommodate some of their key underlying interests. To accommodate stakeholder interests, while also substantively working toward fulfilling legal mandates, managers must understand the sociopolitical factors that influence the decision-making process. We coin the phrase disparate stak…
The Cost for Agriculture to Coexist With Wildlife in Colorado
This study estimated costs incurred by agricultural producers to coexist with wildlife in Colorado, where there is little data, and demonstrates that secondary data sources can provide reliable estimates. Three secondary sources were used: government expenditures, spatial data (e.g., geographic information systems), and published studies. Results showed that secondary data provide comparable estimates to more expensive and time consuming surveys.…
Valuing ecosystem and economic services across land-use scenarios in the Prairie Pothole Region of the Dakotas, USA
Are Agricultural PACs Monolithic? An Empirical Investigation of Political Contributions from Agricultural Subsectors
This article analyzes donation strategies of agricultural PACs by examining and testing a variety of variables theoretically related to contributions and formally testing for equivalence of donation strategies across PACs of varying levels of aggregation. Both chambers of the 108th Congress were modeled, with particular attention paid to the targeting of different power or influence sources within the legislature. Results showed significant heter…
Factors Impacting Agricultural Landowners' Willingness to Enter into Conservation Easements
Agricultural lands offer an abundance of environmental goods and services, yet face residential development pressures.Conservation easements are frequently used to protect both productive land and environmental amenities.The landowner retains ownership, and may donate development rights or receive compensation for permanently limiting development on the property.Focus groups were conducted with agricultural landowners in Wyoming and Colorado to e…
