      abstract = {Since the 1970's, an increasing number of State and local  governments have  administered purchase of development  rights programs (PDR's)  that use easements to protect  farmland and similar lands from conversion to other land  uses, such as residential development.  The economic  principles, issues, and problems underlying these farmland  protection programs are broadly  examined, with an emphasis  on basic design and implementation aspects of easement  programs.  Other issues, such as the role of private land  trusts in farmland protection, are also discussed.},
