Strategies for retaining land in agriculture: An analysis of Virginia's agricultural district policy
AbstractAs the competition between agricultural and non-agricultural uses of prime land intensifies, land-use policies designed to retain land in agricultural use are gaining wider acceptance at the state and local level. This paper presents an analysis of one farmland retention policy currently in use in the United States: formation of agricultural districts. The formation of agricultural districts, a voluntary policy for retaining land in agriculture, is traditionally thought to be an ineffective strategy for preserving the agricultural land near urban areas. In Virginia however, formation of agricultural districts has been concentrated around the state's growth corridor.After a review of alternative strategies for retaining land in agriculture, this paper focuses on information gained through a land-use survey of 410 Virginia landowners and analysis of their farmland retention policy participation behavior. The empirical results of a logit analysis of policy participation behavior are presented and discussed in terms of characteristics of policy design and implementation that influence participation. Based on conclusions drawn from this study, policy-oriented suggestions are offered for the development of farmland retention strategies which better meet the demands of local land-use decision makers.
