 How Much Agricultural Multi-Functionality Can International Trade Bare?Luka Juvancic and Emil Erjavec () No 183795, 2005 Conference: Slovenia in the EU - Challenges for Agriculture, Food Science and Rural Affairs, November 10-11, 2005, Moravske Toplice, Slovenia from Slovenian Association of Agricultural Economists (DAES) Abstract: There is a growing consensus among developed economies about the significance of non-commodity outputs of agriculture, such as its environmenal and spatial impacts, and its contribution towards employment and viability of rural areas. It however remains open, which of these functions (often referred as attributes of multifunctional agriculture) provide plausible arguments for public support towards agriculture and acceptance by international trade partners. The paper attempts to assess, which attributes of multifunctional agriculture are acceptable to international trade partners and can therefore be provided with assisence of agricultural policy mechanisms. In principle, none of the attributes of multifunstional agriculture is contestable in the actual multilateral trade negotiations, as long as support will remain market-neutral.
