Small scalehobby farmers are present at the urban fringe near Victoria (the capital), both insideand outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

    The main reason for government intervention in land markets is market failure. Open space is a non-market output or externality of farmland and, although it might be important to people, there is no actual market for the good as such. The Netherlands and the Province of British Columbia in Canada both experience similar problems of expanding cities and pressure on open space, and they both use zoning to regulate land use and its externalities.

    There is much in common between the agricultural sectors of the United States and Canada. This chapter begins with a brief background on the two sectors, then reviews their histories of farm policy developments before reporting new estimates of rates of assistance to their farmers and their consequences for taxpayers and consumers. This is followed by an explanation of the politics behind the evolution and gyrations in farm policies in the two countries, and some speculation on the prospect for reform.

    In Canada, where public ownership of forestland is prevalent, a central decision facing policy makers is how to allocate timber resources to private forest companies. Debates tend to focus around what proportion of the annual harvest should be devoted to markets opposed to long-term contracts. To give a guide to policy makers, we surveyed forest firms from New Zealand and Sweden where this decision is based purely on a commercial basis. On average, mills source fifty percent of their fibre from the market.

    The problem of allocating cutting rights among competing licensees in Canada often entails assigning large discrete units of land to these licensees, typically for periods of fifteen to twenty-five years. The units of forest land are often large because it is economically infeasible for firms to maintain roads and operations widely dispersed across a forest. The assignment of these areas clearly frustrates the economic objective of sending the “right log to the right mill”.
