Publications

  • Multifunctionality: The Policy Implications - Multifonctionnalité: Conséquences pour l'action publique (124 p.)
    Building on the path-breaking work Multifunctionality: Towards an Analytical Framework, this report takes the subject a step further. It attempts to guide policy-makers to the best possible decisions taking account of the multifunctional character of agriculture. The guiding principle, as in the earlier work, is that considerable rigour is required if optimal solutions are to be identified. Careful definition, quantification and monitoring are required at all stages in the process of analysing and implementing effective policies.
