    Bread and beauty grow best together
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Knight, Rick, author
    Two-thirds of the U.S. is private land and, on average, two out of every three acres of planet Earth are degraded. Ecosystem services have developing economic markets associated with them, but degraded lands allow few such services to be harvested. There is a growing awareness among land owners of these potential new revenue streams. In times to come economists, ecologists and land owners will increasingly work together for land health and economic prosperity.

    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Grimmett, Hill, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    Conservation beef or “story beef” is increasingly available in the marketplace. Beef producers who are seeking additional income streams and ways to profit from good land management and animal husbandry practices may find such a niche strategy worth considering. And several small producers locally might band together in pursuing such a marketing plan.

    Making the case for environmental markets
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Toombs, Ted, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    For decades markets have been one of the most destructive forces encouraging the overuse and wasting of natural resources. But, markets also have the potential to help us conserve resources if we design them right. In my talk, I'll use personal examples to demonstrate the potential benefits of using markets to drive conservation as opposed to traditional conservation approaches. I'll encourage discussion and engagement from the audience.
