Energy Costs and Farm Characteristics in the European Union : Highlighting Linkages with Structural and Policy Dimensions (1st ed. 2021)

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.
