Extract

In the Northeast, efforts to preserve farmland have been justified primarily on the basis of shared feelings and values concerning land use as it affects the environment and quality of life. However, attention is increasingly directed toward economic impacts. Although success in preserving rural environments depends upon anticipating the economic consequences of alternative preservation measures, it is easy for interested groups to overlook some economic impacts, while concentrating on others.
