| Tiivistelmä: | Many countries in Western Europe have introduced voluntary programmes to encourage farmers to adopt environmentally more benign practices such as integrated pest management, but more policy action appears to be needed to meet the environmental quality levels now demanded. Input taxes could assist in meeting policy objectives. The issue considered in this article is the identification of the most appropriate specification of a tax instrument to reduce the environmental problems of agricultural pesticide usage. This paper takes a farm systems approach to evaluation. |
