Förlagets beskrivning
Nature and agriculture both shape the European countryside and one of the
main challenges for the years to come will be to strengthen their interaction
for the future development of rural areas. In this topical book, the authors
demonstrate how economics and ecology can play a critical role in maintaining
and sustaining this relationship. The book identifies the dilemmas facing European agriculture and explores
their economic and ecological consequences. The authors believe a better
understanding of these problems will be crucial in recognizing the potential
options for the future role of agriculture and nature policy and will guide the
identification of suitable policy instruments. They highlight current threats
to the relationship between agriculture and nature - such as abandonment and
intensification - and demonstrate how these problems can be resolved by a
rational policy mix. The book also provides extensive empirical evidence from
four case studies and concludes by scrutinizing the major changes in market
conditions and the Common Agricultural Policy which could upset this important
but fragile balance between agriculture and nature. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of current thinking on the
relationship between agriculture and nature in the context of EU policy, this
book should be welcomed by policymakers and those studying and working in the
fields of agricultural and resource economics, geography and agri-business. Nature and agriculture both shape the European countryside and one of the
main challenges for the years to come will be to strengthen their interaction
for the future development of rural areas. This text examines the role
economics and ecology play in maintaining and sustaining this relationship.
