Rond de scheidslijn van landbouweconomie en landbouwpolitiek
Als landbouweconoom en als adviseur van LNV-ministers heeft prof.dr.ir. Gerrit Meester zich decennialang bewogen rond de scheidslijn tussen wetenschap en politiek. Bij het Landbouw-Economisch Instituut analyseerde hij het Gemeenschappelijk Landbouwbeleid en rekende hij beleidsopties door. In zijn eerste baan op het ministerie van LNV voerde hij het woord in het Speciaal Landbouwcomité (CSA), het voorportaal van de Landbouwraad. Later, als Hoofd Bureau Strategische Beleidsvorming was de relatie tussen het ministerie en de samenleving een belangrijk aandachtspunt. Vanaf 2000 zat hij als adviseur landbouwpolitieke vraagstukken bij de Directie Internationale Zaken opnieuw dicht bij de ontwikkel...
Van boterberg naar biobased
In de Nederlandse economie neemt de landbouw een belangrijke plaats in. Uit economisch oogpunt is de landbouw, samen met de toeleverende en verwerkende bedrijven, een van de belangrijkste sectoren. Ook is in het verstedelijkte Nederland de landbouw de grootste grondgebruiker. Geen andere sector is zo nauw verbonden met milieu en natuur. Op de nationale en internationale beleidsagenda’s prijkt de landbouw nog altijd prominent. Van boterberg naar biobased, de Nederlandse landbouw in perspectief geeft een actueel overzicht van ontwikkelingen in de Nederlandse landbouw en het beleid dat zich hier op richt. Verschillende experts belichten in vijftien hoofdstukken, o.a. de economische positie van de landbouw, internationale aspecten van beleid en agrarische markten, en de relatie tussen landbouw, milieu en natuur. Recente ontwikkelingen rond klassieke onderwerpen als pacht en melkquota worden besproken, maar ook is er aandacht voor meer recente thema's als biobased economy en agrarisch natuurbeheer. Van boterberg naar biobased biedt daarmee een gedegen en up-to-date overzicht van de Nederlandse landbouw voor diegenen die in professionele zin met deze sector te maken hebben.

Scaling Up Climate Mitigation Policy in Germany
Germany has set national greenhouse emissions targets of a 65 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2045, along with various sectoral emissions goals. To achieve these targets, the government has introduced multi-pronged policy measures, including a national emissions trading system (ETS), which complements the ETS at the EU level. This paper shows the substantial variation in the price responsiveness of emissions across sectors and thus prices implied by sectoral targets. It proposes the following measures to help Germany meet emissions targets with greater certainty and cost effectiveness: (i) further strengthening carbon pricing, for example through automat...
