| Abstract: | This paper discusses recent policy change within the Common Agricultural Policy, which have led to a shift from a solely production-led agriculture towards the promotion of multi-functionality. The author investigates the relationship between the "multi-functional" farming attitude desired by policy makers and its effect on technical efficiency within Scottish dairy farming. It is shown that a multi-functional attitude has a remarkable positive impact on technical efficiency. |
