Significant advances have occurred in recent years in Europe and
in North America in addressing agri-environmental policies. Land
use issues tend to be more pressing in Europe than in the US as a
whole because of different spatial exigencies. Because these
advances have taken place within individual academic disciplines,
there has been something of a loss of synergy and often efforts are
duplicated.
While important institutional and legal differences still exist
between the two continents, the sharing of recent scientific
advances will benefit scientists on both sides of the Atlantic and
this is the main purpose of this book. The primary features of the
book are threefold. First, the authors aim to identify options for
policy to overcome the challenges ahead related to future
agri-environmental policies. Second, they synthesize existing
knowledge and identify gaps in current knowledge along with future
research needs. Finally, they explicitly compare agri-environmental
interactions and approaches to their resolution in Europe and in
the US.
This is the only major book of its kind that focuses
specifically on the intersection between agricultural and
environmental policies and issues. Furthermore, the
multi-disciplinary approach taken in the volume, as well as the
inclusion of authors from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, makes
the book unique. This book will be of most value to university
faculty and students interested in agriculture and the environment
on both sides of the Atlantic, the text should also be of interest
to informed laypersons as well as policymakers.
