Converting stewardship values into policy: The mission of the 1990 Farm Bill
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 October 2009
Abstract
Farmers committed to the overall goal of sustainability in agriculture have banded together to support legislative action favorable to that goal. Specific objectives relate to addition of organic amendments to soils to improve fertility, avoidance of excessive use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, crop rotation, species diversity among crops, protection of wildlife habitats, and support of family-operated farms. Currently applicable legislation is believed to be unfavorable to some of these objectives and needs modification.
