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).

Integrated Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas in Central
European Countries presents the exciting results of original
research on the integrated development of agriculture and rural
areas in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. This edited
collection includes academics from both Western and Central
European Countries who worked together on a three-year research
project. The project yielded unique data that covers different
aspects of rural development-both agriculture and non-agricultural
activities-and is of special relevance owing to these countries'
status as new members of the European Union. Following an
introduction into the transition process and the current situations
in each country, variations in farm performance are analyzed, a
detailed look is taken at the rural development in the EU, the role
of non-agricultural farm diversification is analyzed, and the major
findings of the research are presented. This exceptional collection
compiled by Davidova, Bauer, and Cuddy, will appeal to scholars of
agriculture and rural economics and policy.
