We examine US agri-environmental policies in the context of public goods provision. We investigate the challenges which are present in providing public goods from agriculture and the policies that are implemented and could be implemented to procure such goods. Thinking of agri-environmental policies in terms of provision of public goods provides a useful framework for evaluating the portfolio of current policies as well as for suggesting new approaches.
