This book explores the relationships between the energy costs and other
farm variables in the European Union (including the UK) over a recent
period of six years. It examines labour, farm land area, outputs/inputs,
investments, assets, taxes, and subsidies in the context of policy
measures and the farm structure.
The book provides a deep insight into how energy cost and other factors
in the farming sector relate to each other and as a result how farm
planning can be made more efficient, more environmentally sustainable
and more competitive. It will be of interest to policy-makers,
governments, researchers and advanced students of economics, policy and
the environment.
