Abstract: Abstract For a long time environmental and natural resource issues were regarded as relatively unimportant in the debate about agricultural policy when compared with market related issues, changes in technology and structural adjustment. Today, the situation is different; an increasing number of citizens and important actors on the public scene look upon natural resources and sustainability as primary considerations in decisions about agricultural policy. A similar trend is found in other sectors of the economy.
