      abstract = {The concept of multifunctionality, in which agriculture is  viewed as a source of both commodity and non-commodity  outputs, has stimulated debate on the desirability of  further trade liberalization. We explore the economics of  multifunctionality and its policy implications. We argue  for a new policy approach in which land and natural  resource managers are remunerated for positive  non-commodity outputs and penalized for negative outputs.  This would require devolution in policy implementation from  the centre to the local level. Such an approach would  permit countries to achieve broader social objectives,  while at the same time continuing to pursue trade  liberalization.},
