This book addresses one of the key features of contemporary
government policy: how to integrate the economic role of
agriculture with the societal role of the rural environment.
Historical agricultural policy has focussed on encouraging
production while protecting farmers from market risk. However
production surpluses combined with growing concern over the
environmental impacts of intensive agriculture has led to policy
changes, which have exposed farmers to more market risk and
required them to take account of their impact on the environment.
For the first time this book brings these developing policy issues
together with a comprehensive consideration of both theoretical and
empirical aspects.
The first part of the book contains a set of six theoretical
contributions to the economics of the agri-environment, including
consideration of the associated policy implications. Building on
this theoretical base, the second part contains four international
case studies of agri-environmental policy.
All the authors are well-known experts in their field, and the
original material contained in this book should be of interest to
academic agricultural and environmental economists, postgraduate
students, and policymakers.
