ABSTRACT
The adequacy of agricultural land as a factor of production was tackled in a straightforward manner in the conference reported on in this volume. The discussion included demand for and supply of agricultural land; the role of technology, including irrigation trends; and economic and environmental costs of expanded food production, as well as public policies. The papers speak for themselves and no attempt is made in this final chapter to restate the conclusions drawn by the authors and discussants, but it may be useful to view some of the findings as well as the conference itself from a different perspective.
