      abstract = {Can Delaware's agriculture coexist (and prosper) in the  face of competing land uses over the next twenty years? We  believe that maintaining Delaware's agriculture as a viable  land-use alternative depends on the success in addressing  three critical challenges. First, will residential,  commercial, and industrial land uses be forced to bear the  full costs that their land-use decisions visit on Delaware  agriculture? Alternatively, will agriculture be fully  compensated for its contribution to Delaware's economy and  quality of life? An associated, second challenge, is  whether state, county, and local governments will institute  incentive-based policies to achieve socially desirable  land-use outcomes? It is particularly important that there  exist policies to protect and to promote diverse land uses  within all three counties. Finally, will spatial land-use  patterns evolve, which ensure that agriculture maintains  the critical masses necessary for the industry's economic  viability and which insulate producers from the complaints  and threats of nonagricultural neighbors? This paper  expands on these three challenges and then reviews data on  trends in agricultural land use to draw conclusions.},
