Last month, the American Agricultural Economics Association recognized
Marc Ribaudo with its Distinguished Policy Contribution
Award. Marc’s research and economic advice on water quality
and policy analysis have shaped national conservation and environmental
policy for over 20 years. The Clean Water Act, the Conservation
Reserve Program, the Environmental Quality Incen-tives Program,
and the National Water Quality Assessment Program are just a few
of the policies that are and will continue to be influenced by his
contributions to resource economics. More recently, Marc co-led
a team effort that resulted in the report, Manure
Management for Water Quality: Costs to Animal Feeding Operations
of Applying Manure Nutrients to Land.
