Abstract
Agriculture is experiencing an explosion of experimentation with flexible incentives to induce better environmental stewardship. The foregoing chapters present a range of incentives that span both public and private domains with a spectrum from wholly voluntary to largely coercive measures. The unifying element is the freedom of the agriculturalist to choose whether, and how, to adopt environmental technologies.
