Abstract
Agricultural land in rural-urban fringe areas has received strong competition from expanding urban communities during recent years. Much of this urban growth has occurred haphazardly and has removed many acres of prime agricultural land from production as the private land market has failed to fully account for the social costs of land-use transitions. The impacts from these shifts in land use are felt by farmers, municipalities and the general public.
