Private agri-food governance and greenhouse gas abatement
Neoliberalising rural environments
Payments for Ecosystem Services, neoliberalisation, and the hybrid governance of land management in Australia
Framing GM crops as a food security solution
Participation in biodiversity conservation
Harmonising the Governance of Farming Risks
International governmental bodies, such as the World Trade Organisation, are an increasingly prominent feature of global agri-food governance. They are instrumental not only in the dismantling of trade barriers but also in the promotion of a range of rules and standards. These rules are aimed broadly at harmonising national policies and practices so that differences are reduced and free trade is enhanced. Harmonisation is a crucial aspect of mode…

Competitive Productivism and Australia's Emerging ‘Alternative’ Agri-food Networks
This paper advances the theoretical argument for moving beyond the conventional/alternative divide in the analysis of emerging ‘alternative’ agri-food networks (AAFNs). In order to understand how ‘place’, ‘nature’ and ‘quality’-based food networks emerge and develop, we argue that careful attention needs to be paid to the way in which specific political-economic environments shape the options available to farmers and consumers. Australia's ‘compe…

Multifunctionality
The concept of 'multifunctionality' has developed partly in response to the threat which trade liberalisation presents to European agriculture. In this paper we outline different approaches to multifunctionality and consider whether, and to what extent, the concept may be applied more widely outside its home of origin in Western Europe, and specifically whether it is relevant to liberalised agricultural economies, such as Australia. The focus is …
Conceptualizing a “Sustainability Business Model”
According to one perspective, organizations will only be sustainable if the dominant neoclassical model of the firm is transformed, rather than supplemented, by social and environmental priorities. This article seeks to develop a “sustainability business model” (SBM)—a model where sustainability concepts shape the driving force of the firm and its decision making. The SBM is drawn from two case studies of organizations considered to be leaders in…

A multicultural countryside? Ethnic minorities in rural Australia
This paper reviews previous social science knowledge about non-English speaking background (NESB) immigrant communities in rural Australia with the aim of systematising what has been a diverse and fragmented literature. We propose a number of unifying themes which suggest the outlines of an emerging social science of ethnic minorities in rural Australia. These themes include demography; influences on NESB people’s decisions to settle in rural are…
From market to multifunctionality? Land stewardship in Australia
Recent assessments of Australia's land and water resources have revealed widespread patterns of serious decline, much of it directly associated with agricultural practices. The environmental degradation associated with agriculture has both biophysical and socio-economic underpinnings. While there have been calls to attend to the sustainability 'crisis' of Australian agriculture, policy settings remain firmly locked onto a productivist trajectory.…
Reconstructing rurality and community
Taking Stock
On 1 July 2000 significant changes to the regulation of Australian dairying came into effect. These changes eliminated subsidies to milk producers and removed barriers to the inter-State trade of dairy products. Victoria's dairy industry group was a powerful proponent of deregulation, because of the comparative advantage that the State's farmers have in production relative to Australia's other milk producers. However, the deregulation of the dair…
The Moral Life of Trees
For the first time in the history of production forestry in northern New Zealand, forests are being planted on "good farmland." In this article we analyze conflicting narratives of sustainability in relation to this change, using concepts from Žižek (1993, 1997) and Hage (1998). We argue that forestry presents a threat to the identity of pastoral farmers as the backbone of the country, to their enjoyment of community, and to their sense of themse…

Assessing Options in Resource Use for Renewable Energy through Multiobjective Goal Programming
Forest-energy plantations have been recognized as a possible source of renewable energy throughout the world, but the regional consequences of extensive plantation development have not been considered. In an effort to understand better the trade-offs that exist between economic, environmental, and energy concerns associated with regional development projects, a goal-programming model of forest-energy plantation development in Eastern Ontario, Can…
The Economics of Forest Energy Plantations
Biomass from forest plantations has been recognized as a viable alternative to conventional energy resources. In eastern Ontario, Canadian research into the biotechnological aspects of tree cultivation and plantation management is now at an advanced stage. The technology for conversion of biomass to usable energy is also well established. The economic feasibility of energy plantations in Ontario remains unclear, however. In this paper returns to …

Patterns of Change in the Use of Energy in the New Zealand Economy
The relationships between economic activity and energy use have been a matter of interest, in particular since the disruptions to energy markets in the 1970s. Input — Output models provide a convenient methodology by which to identify energy-use intensities of economic sectors at a disaggregate level. Moreover, if there exist at least two compatible tables displaced temporally, it is possible to identify changes in the energy intensity of economi…

Agriculture, society and environment
The discourse on sustainability is marked by widely differing interpretations of the concept. It is generally acknowledged, though, that sustainability concerns the interplay amongst social, economic and environmental dimensions. The emphasis on the respective components of this triumvirate differs amongst the various literatures, however, leading to alternative conceptions of the ‘sustainability problem’ and of the trajectory into the future. Th…

Habitat Islands and the Preservation of New Zealand's Avifauna
Numerous avifauna species face extinction on New Zealand's two main islands, owing largely to forest clearance and to introduced mammals. In response, New Zealand selects certain offshore islands for the relocation of threatened native birds, first purging them of mammalian predators. Over the past few decades, this procedure has evolved to become fairly successful. Protected habitat "islands" within mainland forested areas are also being created…
