National Strategy For Agriculture And Agri-Food The new National agriculture environment Committee, a producer group withrepresentatives from across the provinces and major commodity organizations, http://www.agr.gc.ca/pfra/nesa/nesa14.htm
Extractions: Appendix A:Consultations Given the importance of the more inclusive approach to achieving environmentally sustainable agriculture discussed in this report and the need for dialogue with all of those affected, extensive consultation was undertaken with producers, processors, government and environmental groups. Interested parties were given the opportunity to comment on numerous drafts of the Strategy as well as to participate in a variety of meetings, workshops and discussions. The consultation process does not imply formal endorsement of the Strategy from all those consulted. However, the contents have benefited from direct input by a broad range of stakeholders. Moreover, the conclusions and current contents received concurrence at a national workshop prior to finalization. Of primary importance was the involvement of representatives from the agriculture and agri-food sector. The new National Agriculture Environment Committee, a producer group with representatives from across the provinces and major commodity organizations, was the primary vehicle for consultation with producers. All committee members received drafts of the Strategy and some attended meetings and workshops. Consultations also extended beyond the farm gate to include representatives from the input (e.g. fertilizer, crop protection), processing, wholesaling, retail and food service industries.
Center For Agriculture In The Environment :: Home US nonprofit research center that conducts public policy research to reduce the loss of productive farmland and to promote farming practices that lead to a healthy environment. Information about projects, grant opportunities, and beneficial farm practices. http://www.aftresearch.org/
Extractions: T he Center for Agriculture in the Environment was jointly created by American Farmland Trust and Northern Illinois University in 1991 to help protect America's agricultural lands and to encourage healthy farming practices. This unique collaboration created a public policy research center with roots in both the private, nonprofit world and the academic community. To achieve its mission, CAE works closely with the academic, environmental and agricultural communities to raise awareness of issues by providing research and strong academic arguments for wise public policy. In addition to its research , CAE's oversees and provides support for its affiliated centers , publishes a working paper series , and organizes workshops and symposia.

Extractions: This publication is the result of a close collaboration between three services of the European Commission - EUROSTAT, the Agriculture DG and the Environment DG. It deals with the functional link between agriculture and the environment and seeks to highlight the available statistical information, in the main held by EUROSTAT, but also the Joint Research Centre and the Commission services. The ambition of the publication is to make a full and rigorous contribution to the debate and, in this way, open up new avenues for future work.

Extractions: "Agriculture, Environment, Rural Development" A dynamic European agricultural and agri-foodstuffs sector Progress in gross added value and trade of the agricultural sectors was maintained following the reform of the CAP in 1992, at the same time allowing a policy which is on the whole more environmentally friendly to be put into place. Keywords gross added value, trade, agri-foodstuffs, CAP Changes in agricultural employment The number of people employed in agriculture continues to fall. The family unit remains the basic structure for holdings. However, new types of employment (resulting from diversification) and new types of organisation (part-time work) are beginning to emerge. Keywords employment, CAP, structure of holdings, family employment, part-time Crop trends and environmental impacts Between 1975 and 1990, the ploughing up of meadowland favoured the production of maize for fodder and sale crops. Crop production was intensified (increased inputs, simplification of crop rotation systems). This high pressure agriculture has had a profound impact on the environment (notably diffuse pollution). The reform of the CAP in 1992 has reduced production by introducing set-aside and has put in place agri-environmental measures.
