Dear Colleague,

Given your interest in agriculture and the environment, I would like to draw
to your attention the publication of a Report from the OECD Workshop on
agri-environmental indicators, held in York, United Kingdom (the table of
contents are outlined at the bottom of this message).  Apologies to
colleagues for any cross posting of this message.
 
	ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS FOR AGRICULTURE
	VOLUME 2:  ISSUES AND DESIGN -- THE YORK WORKSHOP 
	OECD Code (51 1999 05 1P)  ISBN 92-64-17041-3,  213 pages,
September  1999. 
	FF 240   US$40   DM72   £25   ¥ 4750 
	Available in French:
Indicateurs environnementaux pour l'agriculture
Volume 2:  Questions clés et conception  -- Le séminaire de York
OCDE Cote (51 1999 05 2P) ISBN 92-64-27041-8,   221 pages,   Septembre 1999
FF240


Agreement on a set of agri-environmental indicators for policy use is on the
verge of being accepted by OECD countries.  To be used by governments and
other stakeholders for policy analysis, these indicators will eventually
provide a series of key benchmarks to monitor change, and are potentially
applicable to non-member OECD countries.

This book, the result of the OECD York Workshop in the United Kingdom
attended by some of the leading experts in the field, examines two key
aspects.  One discusses the identification of suitable indicators, the
methodology to be used in their measurement and issues relating to
interpretation. The other looks at how governments and other users would use
indicators for policy purposes. In this context readers will learn of the
differing OECD country experiences in developing and using
agri-environmental indicators to assess policies and environmental
performance.

Among the thirteen agri-environmental indicator areas being developed by
OECD, ten are covered in the book: soil quality, water quality, water use,
land conservation, biodiversity, wildlife habitats, landscape, farm
management, farm financial resources, and rural socio-cultural issues.  The
remaining three areas -- nutrient use, pesticide use and greenhouse gases --
are already more advanced and were examined in the first volume of the
series Environmental Indicators for Agriculture.  

This book is part of a series of publications entitled Environmental
Indicators for Agriculture:

*	Volume 1: Concepts and Framework, was initially released in 1997.

*	Volume 3: Methods and Results, to be published in 2000, will
provide, for the first time, series of key agri-environmental indicators,
across OECD countries, for the areas listed. 

*	Volume 4: to be published in 2001, will report work on the use of
indicators in policy analysis.
