Hosted by Northern Illinois University and part of the Farmland Information Center, this site is an excellent resource for scholars and others working on farmland protection and urban/suburban development issues. Too numerous to list in their entirety, resources at the site include state snapshots from the 1997 Census of Agriculture; case studies; annotated links to articles, white papers; community and state research reports; abstracts of key literature; case study summaries of farmland protection laws; farmland protection statutes arranged by state and category; fact sheets; state and country farmland information; and much more. Users will also find resources aimed at children, maps, a list of discussion groups, and a free email update service.
