Land Use
AgEconPlus uses its expertise in agriculture and economic analysis to identify the benefits and costs of land use planning decisions. Typically assignments inform trade-offs between retention of land in agricultural production and alternative uses. Studies have addressed the preparation of assessment frameworks for south west Sydney and the economic, social and environmental benefits and costs of geographic diversification of the Australian banana industry.
