Since the 1980's, market-based instruments for environmental policy have become increasingly important. Focusing on environmental taxation in practice, this volume collects key contributions on a wide range of topics, including comparisons of environmental taxation schemes in different countries, political economy issues and key aspects of concrete implementation. It presents a wealth of ex-ante and ex-post analyses, intended as a source of guidance for policy implementation and research. The volume features a full-length introduction locating the literature on environmental taxation in practice in a wider context of theoretical and applied issues.

This book provides a timely analysis and assessment of the potential of organic agriculture (OA) for rural development and the improvement of livelihoods. It focuses on smallholders in developing countries and in countries of economic transition, but there is also coverage of and comparisons with developed countries. It covers market-oriented approaches and challenges for OA as part of high value chains and as an agro-ecologically based development for improving food security. It demonstrates the often unrecognised roles that organic farming can play in climate change, food security and sovereignty, carbon sequestration, cost internalisations, ecosystems services, human health and the restoration of degraded landscapes. The chapters specifically provide readers with:

an overview of the state of research on OA from socio-economic, environmental and agro-ecological perspectives an analysis of the current and potential role of OA in improving livelihoods of farmers, in sustainable value chain development, and in implementation of agro-ecological methods proposed strategies for exploiting and improving the potential of OA and overcoming the constraints for further development a review of the strengths and weaknesses of OA in a sustainable development context

Für die sogenannten «Grasländer» Schweiz und Österreich stellt sich die Frage, welche Lösungen für die Milch- und Rindfleischproduktion zu einer ökologisch nachhaltigen Landnutzung beitragen können. Vor diesem Hintergrund unterziehen die Autoren die Landwirtschaft in diesen beiden Alpenländern einer umfassenden Bestandsaufnahme hinsichtlich ihrer agrarpolitischen Entwicklung und deren Folgen für die Umwelt. Dabei stellen sie den Faktor Stickstoff in das Zentrum der Analyse, die in einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen FiBL Österreich, Umweltbundesamt GmbH Wien, FiBL Schweiz, und Schwank Earthpartner erfolgte.Die Autoren entwickeln aus verschiedenen Perspektiven Ansätze und Leitlinien, die zentral sind, um mittelfristig eine ökologisch nachhaltige Landwirtschaft zu erreichen. Eine wichtige regionale wie auch globale Leitfrage ist dabei, wie sich eine sichere Ernährung der Bevölkerung erreichen lässt, ohne die Tragfähigkeit des Ökosystems zu gefährden.Mit der «Regenerativen Milch- und Rindfleischproduktion» stellen die Autoren einen neuen und innovativen Lösungsweg für eine ökologisch nachhaltige Landwirtschaft im Alpenraum vor, der sich von der momentanen Hochleistungsstrategie unterscheidet. Doch zeigt dieser Lösungsweg auch positive Effekte auf die Umwelt in der Schweiz und in Österreich? Und inwieweit verändert er die Produktion von Lebensmitteln? Diese Fragen werden anhand verschiedener Modellberechnungen beantwortet, deren Machbarkeit mittels Praxisbeiträgen veranschaulicht wird.
