This new book about agri-environmental policies aims to identify options for policy to overcome the challenges ahead related to future agri-environmental policies. Second, it synthesizes existing knowledge and identifies gaps in current knowledge along with future research needs. Finally, the volume explicitly compares 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.
The book, edited by Stephan Goetz (Pennsylvania State University, USA) and Floor Brouwer (LEI Wageningen UR), is published by Routledge in their Series on Explorations in Environmental Economics.
