Summary:

As part of a series published by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), this volume presents 16 papers based on the proceedings of a workshop on Multifunctionality in Agriculture: Evaluating the Degree of Jointness, Policy Implications, held in November 2006 in Paris, France. The papers consider the nature and strength of jointness between agricultural commodity production and non-commodity outputs in three areas: rural development, environmental externalities, and food security. Researchers from the US, Europe, and Japan, and OECD country delegates also discuss jointness in the context of multiple non-commodity outputs occurring simultaneously in relation to the same agricultural production system.
