Overview
"Mineral emissions from agriculture include nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metals, derived particularly from fertilizer use and farm animal wastes in intensive agricultural systems. These have the potential to cause pollution and affect the quality of water, soils and agricultural produce. Interest in this subject has increased substantially in recent years, resulting in reforms of part of the Common Agricultural Policy as well as the development of special directives in the European Union. This book presents analyses of the economics and policy options related to nonpoint-source pollution in European agriculture. It brings together several disciplines and has been developed from a workshop held in Norway in January 1996. This workshop was one of four, each focussing on a key theme as part of the EU Concerted Action, ""Policy measures to control environmental impacts from agriculture"". The book includes both theoretical analyses and empirical studies from several countries. It represents a volume for research academics and professionals in soil science, environmental and pollution studies, and agricultural and environmental economics and policy."

Reviews
The impact of mineral emissions from agriculture, nitrogen in particular, on soil and water quality and global climate is stimulating the consideration and development of policies to control emissions. Although the focus of the book is on western Europe, the subject is of keen interest to those of us in North America and other parts of the world as well. . . . This volume is an ambitious effort to draw on analyses from diverse disciplines to investigate the impacts of various policy options. Authors include economists, sociologists, soil scientists, and policy analysts. . . . This book may appeal to several audiences. Scientists interested in the analysis of economic instruments and those interested in the interface between social and natural sciences may find chapters in the book that simulate their thinking. However, the primary audience should be those interested in the development of appropriate agricultural policies. --Soil Science<br>
