Agriculture and the Environment: Issues and Policies
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Close and complex links exist between agriculture and the environment and there is increasing public concern to provide greater environmental quality in agriculture. Reducing the harmful and enhancing the beneficial environmental effects to ensure the sustainable use of resources in agriculture while maintaining an economically efficient agricultural sector have become important policy objectives in OECD countries. Over the last decade there has been some progress in environmental performance, as a result of agricultural policy reforms, environmental measures, and changes in technology and farm practices. There is, however, still room for improvement and more needs to be done. Which principles should policies be based on? And which strategy framework should be adopted? This report sheds light on the key policy questions and issues, and draws some conclusions for the better design and implementation of government policies. This report was prepared as input into the 1997 OECD Agriculture Ministerial Meeting of March 1998.
