Abstract

The 2018 Farm Bill largely reauthorizes the same conservation programs from the 2014 Agricultural Act. Funding changes in the Conservation Title will result in an expansion and contraction of the pre-existing primary programs, with impacts to California agriculture and the environment.

Keywords

agri-environmental policy, payments for ecosystem services, Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
