First published in 1982. Considerable public controversy surrounded
the large amount of public expenditure devoted to agriculture under
the European Community's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). There
were serious disputes over how the farm support system operated and
how it was financed. This book describes the CAP situation and
summarises previous attempts to assess some of the economic and
financial flows arising from its creation using a common framework
of well-established economic theory and methods. The CAP turned out
to have a number of 'costs', depending on the concept of 'cost'
used, the alternative policies considered, and the various
assumptions made. The bulk of the book presents the structure and
results of a comprehensive model of European Community agricultural
markets and the associated CAP support mechanisms. This model is
validated against official Community budget figures and then run to
simulate a number of policy options and their consequences. This
title will be of interest to students of economics, geography and
agriculture.

This book presents the methodology and results of a three-year,
eleven-country science-to-policy research project - Toward a Policy
Model of Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development -
undertaken between 2005 and 2008 and financed under the European
Union's Sixth Framework program. It deals with an important
contemporary policy issue: how best to ensure that an
agriculturally-based policy can contribute to the development of
rural regions. It tackles this problem in a number of different but
complementary ways, primarily by the development of a unique and
innovative dynamic systems model, POMMARD (a Policy Model of
Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development).

A unique title comparing rural policies and employment in the two
most developed parts of the world - the EU and USA. While both
regions are concerned for their vast rural areas, each adopts a
strikingly different approach to create and maintain employment
there, making rural space attractive to businesses and
residents.This book focuses on a major issue of socioeconomic and
policy concern, i.e. whether jobs and incomes can be protected or
created in rural areas, where often agriculture no longer provides
a large and secure basis for employment. Within a 'paired' chapter
structure covering both the European Union and the United States of
America, it deals with several themes of interest including farm
policies, labor entry and exit, and rural and household enterprise
diversification. Specific 'special studies' also analyze recent
developments within countries or regions.
Of the ten Central and Eastern European countries that have applied
for membership in the European Union, Romania ranks among the
largest and most impoverished. Romania represents the final
challenge in the European Union's enlargement to the east, largely
due to its major, but underdeveloped, agriculture and food sectors.
The agriculture industry, which is a major component of the
national economy, extends its pervasive influence to both Romanian
social life and environment. Consequently, the transition towards a
market oriented economic system will pose new obstacles for the
country's farmers, processors, traders, and policymakers. While
identifying the impediments that surround Romanian agriculture and
its inevitable progression towards transition is a simple task, the
challenges lie in recommending solutions. Through careful analysis
of numerous recent studies on reform policies in the Romanian
agri-food sector during its economic transition, this comprehensive
examination offers perspicacious suggestions and insights on the
following topics in particular: international trade, credit for
agricultural development, price policies, and rural development.
The conclusions reached are not only of domestic importance and
application, they are also of immediate relevance for many
post-socialist countries, for which the agri-food sector is a
principal vehicle for rural development.
