Agriculture, Marketing and the Environment -- Problems and Research Needs

George B. Rogers and James G. Vertrees

No 324026, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Marketing firms will be directly affected by implementation of programs to improve the environment, since problems in agriculture are substantial. Firms must seek least-cost solutions to such problems in producing, input supplying, processing, and distribution. Many technological alternatives exist, but their application will be influenced by the size, location, and functions of firms, and the economic uses for byproducts from wastes. Comprehensive research programs are needed to aid firms and public agencies in achieving pollution abatement with a minimum of adverse impacts on agricultural industries.
