Policies for Nature and Landscape Conservation in Dutch Agriculture: An Evaluation of Objectives, Means, Effects and Programme Costs

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 19, issue 3, 331-50

Abstract: In the Netherlands the policy for conserving nature and landscape in agriculture is largely prescriptive. Management agreements, the creation of nature reserves and maintenance agreements are the most important instruments the government uses to implement its policy. The government has decided to designate 200,000 hectares as management and reserve areas. This will require a sum of about 2,650 million gilders for land purchase and some 218 million gilders annually for management agreements and to meet the cost of managing and maintaining the nature reserves. These sums might seriously restrict the feasibility of the policies of land management in the future. Copyright 1992 by Oxford University Press.
