| dc.description.abstract | This study considers how the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service and Rural Development Business and Cooperative Service (RDBCS) invested in Oregon between 2007–11. The Forest Service is a land management agency whereas RDBCS is a rural economic development agency. Each has different mandates and missions. However, in some cases they have overlapping goals, especially in communities surrounded by public land. In these places, economic development requires robust businesses and a supportive policy environment, with institutions and resources that help the benefits of land management flow to local communities. We examined how these agencies invested in natural resource-based economic development by analyzing their spending on selected relevant activities. | en_US |
