    Agriculture economic impact of energy alternatives and climate change in Colorado: evidence from an equilibrium displacement approach
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2011-10) Davies, Stephen, author; Fathelrahman, Eihab, author; Davies, Amalia, author; Pritchett, James, author; Colorado State University, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, publisher
    Colorado agriculture has blossomed with the development of water resources that are used for growing crops, which, in turn, spurs value-added production in the meat, sugar and dairy sectors. Increasing urban development is expected to spur the reallocation of an additional six hundred thousand to one million acre feet of agricultural water to new municipal, industrial and energy demands by 2040. Reallocation and climate change will likely to lead to large scale fallowing of agricultural lands. The purpose of the modeling effort summarized in this document is to better understand the impacts borne by the agricultural economy that result from large scale fallowing.

    Mapping the Western U.S. agrotourism industry: how do travel patterns vary by location?
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2016-05) Van Sandt, Anders, author; Thilmany, Dawn, author; Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Colorado State University, publisher
    The spatial patterns reported across US farms and ranches show an interesting patchwork that indicates there are a diverse set of factors that may contribute to successful regional agritourism development efforts. Understanding how different aspects have worked differently in different places allows one to consider which model may be most effective for an operator or community to emulate in their own development plans.
