The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) defines soil health as “the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans” (Pankhurst et al. 1997; Farnsworth 2015; Bowman et al. 2016). A common theme points to soil health as an indicator of the soil’s ability to support life, withstand environmental stresses, and endure as an important part of a resilient ecosystem. Because one of the key individual components of soil health is carbon (C) in organic matter (Idowu et al. 2009; Morrow et al. 2016), enhancing soil health also has a prominent role to play in addressing climate change (Stockmann et al. 2013; Schipanski et al. 2014; Paustian et al. 2016). Improving soil health is a natural climate solution (NCS) that increases C storage in soils (Poeplau and Don 2015; Griscom et al. 2017; Jian et al. 2020). Given soil health’s key role in sustaining agricultural productivity and enhancing C storage, there is significant interest in promoting agricultural management decisions, practices, and production systems that can help maintain or improve soil health. These include practices such as cover cropping, no-till residue and tillage management, conservation crop rotations, mulching, and nutrient management. However, adoption of these soil health practices by farmers is inextricably linked to whether private economic benefits from implementing these practices (i.e., benefits to the farmer) outweigh the associated private adoption costs. In addition, understanding the environmental benefits from adopting these soil health practices (i.e., external benefits to society through ecosystems services) can help inform design of public policies seeking to align private incentives with public environmental goals (for example, designing of subsidy payments to farmers). In this paper, we describe the economic dimensions associated with the decision to adopt soil health practices. These are important concepts that will help soil and water conservation practitioners further encourage adoption of soil health practices. Here, we summarize recent literature that examines the economic benefits and costs of cover crops and no-till systems for the United States, in general, and the understudied Northeast region of the United States, in particular. The Northeast is chosen here because several states in this region (i.e., Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware) are among the top states in terms of percentage cover crop and no-till adoption (Zulauf and Brown 2019a, 2019b). Yet there have been few economic studies of soil health practices for this region (more on this below). The Northeast region of the United States in this study includes Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Adoption of cover crops and no-till varies widely across the United States (figure 1). Key research directions are identified that would enhance understanding of the economics of soil health practices and provide insights into policies that can help encourage adoption of these C-sequestering soil health practices.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION}, author={Rejesus, Roderick M. and Aglasan, Serkan and Knight, Lynn G. and Cavigelli, Michel A. and Dell, Curtis J. and Lane, Erin D. and Hollinger, David Y.}, year={2021}, pages={55A–60A} } @article{wang_rejesus_aglasan_2021, title={Warming Temperatures, Yield Risk and Crop Insurance Participation}, volume={48}, ISSN={["1464-3618"]}, DOI={10.1093/erae/jbab034}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={5}, journal={EUROPEAN REVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={Wang, Ruixue and Rejesus, Roderick M. and Aglasan, Serkan}, year={2021}, month={Nov}, pages={1109–1131} } @article{carriere_brown_aglasan_dutilleul_carroll_head_tabashnik_jorgensen_carroll_2020, title={Crop rotation mitigates impacts of corn rootworm resistance to transgenic Bt corn}, volume={117}, ISSN={["0027-8424"]}, DOI={10.1073/pnas.2003604117}, abstractNote={Significance}, number={31}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Carriere, Yves and Brown, Zachary and Aglasan, Serkan and Dutilleul, Pierre and Carroll, Matthew and Head, Graham and Tabashnik, Bruce E. and Jorgensen, Peter Sogaard and Carroll, Scott P.}, year={2020}, month={Aug}, pages={18385–18392} }
