Farm incomes, wealth and agricultural policy : filling the CAP's core information gap / Berkeley Hill, Emeritus Professor of Policy Analysis, University of London (Imperial College London). - 4th edition. - 1 online resource (xii, 315 pages) : illustrations, charts
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Incomes and agricultural policy -- Conceptual issues -- Indicators of income from agricultural production -- Incomes of agricultural households -- Wealth -- Information and policy.
Access limited to subscribing institution.
The main thesis of this book is that, within the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), incomes are not, and never have been, assessed in a way that is appropriate to the fundamental needs of policy. This also applies in the UK and most other industrialized countries. Furthermore, with a few national exceptions, the necessary information is not available by which a policy aimed directly at enabling the agricultural population to enjoy a fair standard of living could be designed and monitored. Wealth, as it relates to the economic status of farmers and their families, is almost totally ignored. The book has 7 chapters and a subject index.
