Overview

Agricultural Resources and Environmental Indicators, 2019, describes trends in economic, structural, resource, and environmental indicators in the agriculture sector. The indicators covered in this report provide assessments of important changes in U.S. agriculture—industry development; environmental effects; and implications for economic, social, and environmental sustainability.

For developments related to conservation in the 2018 Farm Act, see Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018: Highlights and Implications—Conservation. In addition, ERS plans to update some of the estimates in this report with data from the 2017 Census of Agriculture once micro-level data needed to do so are available.
