OECD: Green Growth and Agriculture

A preliminary report outlines a strategy for green growth in the agricultural sector and identifies three priority areas for policy making:

1) increasing productivity in a sustainable manner, in particular by prioritizing research, development, innovation, education, extension services and information;
2) ensuring that markets provide the right signals, and in particular that prices reflect the scarcity value of natural resources as well as the positive and negative environmental impacts of their use; and
3) establishing and enforcing well defined property rights, so as to ensure sustainable resource use.
