| Tiivistelmä: | The trade and environment debate has focused attention on the possible contradiction between promoting free markets while meeting domestic environmental objectives. This paper takes a view from the South. Recent econometric models predict net effects of expanded agricultural trade to be positive for the global environment. Yet , further pressure on degraded resources and marginal farmers, and a reinforcement of sectoral policies that benefit commercial export crop growers as opposed to food producers may make increased trade more of a bane than a blessing for developing countries. |
