About [Edit]
Using data from paper #8, Estimating Spatially Explicit Population Distribution and Urban Area Expansion in California for the Year 2030, this paper assesses the availability of agricultural lands in 2030 according to two different scenarios. 1. Business as Usual Scenario, amount of Ag land that would be available in the future in land development and current practices occur unabated. 2. A Vivid Picture Scenario, amount of Ag land that would be available in the future with smart growth policies limiting urban expansion throughout the state and that the conservation of important ecosystems and wildlife habitats takes place. Contains fact sheets for each scenario, explanation of methodology, and brief explanation of Vivid Picture scenario findings.
Useful tool for understanding CA’s future land use, urban growth, smart growth, wildlife conservation, and water use.
