Abstract

Total natural resource rents have had an important influence on cereal production and environmental sustainability in the United States. The increased use of these resources has led to an increase in cereal production, as well as environmental degradation. As such, it is important to consider the impacts of total natural resource rents on cereal production and environmental sustainability when assessing the sustainability of the United States. This paper explores the impacts of land under cereal production and natural resources on environmental sustainability in the United States from 1970 to 2018. Results explain that land under cereal production, insurance, financial services, and economic growth positively correlate with the ecological footprint. In contrast, natural resources have a negative relationship with the environmental footprint. Land under cereal products, insurance, financial services, and economic growth degrades the environment while natural resources improve it. Policy implications for land under cereal production and environmental sustainability are heavily influenced by total natural resources rents in the United States. To ensure a sustainable future, policymakers must consider the environmental impacts associated with cereal production and develop comprehensive policies that promote sustainable land use and resource management.
