Abstract
The effectiveness of farmland preservation programs in fast-growth areas cannot be determined solely on the basis of stability in the agricultural land supply within the subject jurisdiction, but must take into consideration extrajuridictional agricultural land loss which can result from stringent local development controls. A better measure of program effectiveness is the coefficient of conversion, which expresses the area of agricultural land converted to urban use per unit of urban growth. The rationale for such a measure and its application in Modesto, California are discussed.
