| Abstract: | Links between trade and the environment have aroused considerable
interest, both in terms of the impact of trade liberalisation on the
environment, and also the impact of environmental policy on
production and trade. A key environmental concern is global
warming. The agricultural sector both contributes to, and will be
affected by, climate change. Various mitigation strategies have been
proposed for agriculture, including a limit on animal numbers, and
restrictions on Nitrogen fertiliser application. The effects of these
mitigation options on production, trade and emissions are analysed
in this paper, using a partial equilibrium, agricultural multi-country,
multi-commodity trade model, extended to include production
systems and GHG emissions. |
