Environmental Indicators and Agricultural Policy (CABI Publishing)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Concern about the environment has led to a number of proposals for controlling the impact of agriculture. In Europe, for example, the European Union has begun to require that all Common Agricultural Policy measures be evaluated for their environmental impact. This has in turn led to a number
of proposed standard agri-environmental indicators.
This practical volume reviews the theoretical development and use of environmental indicators in the areas of biodiversity, pollution and policy analysis, to assess the impact of agriculture. The chapters were originally developed for a workshop held in The Netherlands in April 1997, as part of the
EU Concerted Action, "Policy measures to control environmental impacts from agriculture," and they provide important insight on longterm issues in agricultural and environmental economics and policy.
