Multifunctionality in Agriculture: Evaluating the Degree of Jointness, Policy Implications Summary of the Workshop

摘要

Trade-offs were found between promoting biodiversity and employment in agriculture and rural areas, on the one hand, and minimizing negative environmental externalities from fertilizer usage on the other hand. Complementarities offer possibilities for economizing on transaction costs in policy design and implementation and on direct programme costs because multiple goals can be addressed simultaneously.
