Title: Economic Instruments for Conservation: Agriculture
Description: As part of its Millennium Program the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy(NRTEE) established the Task Force on the Conservation of Natural Heritage. The end result of the Task Forces work is to produce a NRTEE State of the Debate report with targeted recommendations in the spring of 2003 (an interim report is expected in the fall of 2002) for governments and decision-makers across Canada. The NRTEE may use some recommendations as the basis for its Greening of the Budget 2003 submission. Most of this report is a brief summary of proposals to support sustainable agriculture.
