      abstract = {Sustainability issues and matters involving the  conservation of biodiversity are no longer new subjects for  environmental policy. Nevertheless, they are of continuing  interest, there are always new dimensions to consider and  unresolved questions remain. In fact, it may only be now  that we are starting to have a satisfactory overview of  these subjects which have been intensively considered for  around two decades. This paper provides an overview of this  subject, paying particular attention to agriculture.
In it  the following are considered:

1.	Different broad  approaches to policy-making and implementation applied to  environmental policies.
2.	Different concepts of and views  about sustainability- and biodiversity and their dissimilar  policy implications.
3.	Agricultural sustainability as a  concept and as a goal, and policies to achieve agricultural  sustainability.
4.	Important relationships 	between  agriculture and the conservation of  biodiversity.
5.	Reasons for sustaining biodiversity,  possible methods for doing so, and their implications for  agriculture.},
