Abstract:
Environmental concerns such as global warming are expected to require strong political action across the different sectors of the economy. In this paper, we question whether these environmental challenges aggravate the agricultural sector in delivering on agricultural policy objectives. We give an account of recent developments in Norwegian environmental policy that affect agriculture. We present results from a partial equilibrium model for the Norwegian agricultural sector in which we use various policy instruments to balance multiple agricultural and environmental objectives regarding agriculture.
