Taxes Versus Regulation in the Dutch Intensive Livestock Sector
Chapter
Abstract
The environmental effects of agriculture have long been neglected; food security and the farmers’ income were the first priorities of agricultural policy. However, the scaling-up and intensification of land use have had adverse side-effects on the environment. Although the use of DDT and PCBs was forbidden in the Netherlands in 1962, it was only in the eighties that consensus grew about the problems caused by agriculture (de Wit, 1988).
