The Multifunctional Attributes of Northeastern Agriculture: A Research Agenda

Sandra S. Batie

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 2003, vol. 32, issue 01, 8

Abstract: In the United States' Northeastern region, there is an increasing interest in the public benefits from agriculture. These benefits are frequently referred to as multifunctional attributes. The policy challenge is to find an effective way to reflect these public demands so that multifunctional agriculture can be profitable. There is a significant research agenda that accompanies this challenge. Research topics include assessing and understanding consumer demand for multifunctional attributes, estimating the long-run returns to those production systems which supply these attributes, and designing and evaluating institutional arrangements to supply them.
