Abstract
The book contains edited and revised versions of 16 selected papers presented at the workshop 'Towards operationalization of the effects of CAP on environment, landscape and nature: exploration of indicator needs' held in Wageningen in April 1997. It reviews, from a European perspective, the theoretical development and use of indicators in the assessment of the environmental impact of agricultural policy on the physical environment, landscape and biodiversity; and the use of environmental indicators for pollution and policy analysis.
