After more than two decades of these schemes in Australia, what have we learnt? Are we getting the most out of these investments, and how should we do things differently in the future? Involving contributions from ecologists, economists, social scientists, restoration practitioners and policymakers, this book provides short, engaging chapters that cover a wide spectrum of environmental, agricultural and social issues involved in agri-environment schemes UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32434/1/610749.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32434/1/610749.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32434/1/610749.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/35348 ER -
