The Pacific Northwest is anticipating massive growth in the years ahead, most of which is likely to occur in areas of environmental sensitivity. Environmental markets (also referred to as ecosystem service markets) represent a way for our growing communities to offset or mitigate for the unavoidable impacts of growth and development at the lowest reasonable cost. At the same time, they can provide supplemental income for our farmers and ranchers, improving their economic viability, and providing the funding necessary for them to protect their land and remain in agriculture.

The U.S. population is projected to double over the next 50 years. Much of that increase will be concentrated in a few dynamic regions of the country. As those regions grow, they will increasingly need to find the least costly and most effective ways to mitigate for the environmental impacts of that growth.

Farmland by the Numbers: 2007 National Resources Inventory

Farmland loss is an issue of national importance. The largest acreage loss was in Texas, which had a staggering 2.9 million, followed by Florida and California with both losing more than 1.5 million acres. Another 34 states lost more than 250,000 acres each.
3.
In the United States, we’ve been losing more than an acre of farmland per minute. States losing the largest proportion of their land were clustered in the Northeast, with New Jersey and Rhode Island each losing more than 20 percent.
4.
Even farming areas that were thought to be so big, so productive and so important as to be almost untouchable are in danger. Florida and California, two of the three states experiencing the largest acre losses of agricultural land, currently account for 47 percent of the nation’s vegetables and 71 percent of its fruit production based on market value.
5.
Despite pressures from growth, some states developed relatively less land and were able to protect more acreage of land than what was lost.
