Public Policy in Agriculture

In recent years, developed countries have formulated public policies in agriculture ranging from supporting rural life and farm income to promoting sustainability of food and fibre production. This book addresses the lack of empirical research in this area using case studies to explore the impact of differing approaches to public policy.
