This book describes the environmental problems associated with
agriculture, particularly the use of pesticides and chemical
fertilizers and the disposal of animal waste. These have become
major policy issues in many countries, with the main polluting
effect being on water quality. As with other types of pollution,
significant reductions in agriculture's contribution to water
pollution requires the application of either enforceable regulatory
approaches or changes in the economic environment, so that farmers
adopt environmentally-friendly production practices. Providing a
review and guide to the policy options and their economic
administrative and political merits, the reader can develop an
understanding of these options and their merits in the emerging
policy context. The principal focus is on the developed world,
particularly North America and Europe. The book is aimed at
advanced students, researchers and professionals in agricultural
economics and policy, and environmental and pollution sciences.
