      abstract = {Sustainable agriculture is prescribed as a policy approach  that maximizes
economic benefits while maintaining  environmental quality. It is argued that this
approach is  human capital-intensive and encourages new scientific  developments.
To attain sustainability, economic incentives  for the development and adoption of
precision technologies  (with minimal residues that cause environmental  damage)
have to be developed. Taxation and tradeable  permits are desirable policies to
attain first-best  solutions; however, when heterogeneity and  lack-of-information
problems are significant, alternative  institutions have to be developed. The paper
presents and  discusses such institutions.},
