- Contents in English : Zoning is the method local governments in the United States most frequently use to protect agricultural lands from conversion to others uses, but the actual effectiveness of zoning as an agricultural lands protection tool has rarely been evaluated. In this article, the authors describe efforts of a Utah county to discourage the conversion of cropland to other uses with performance standards amended into its zoning ordinance in 1978. Concluded is that despite its refection of good planning practice the ordinance has not been effective in prevention significant conversions of cropland to rural residential and urban areas.
