This study takes an in-depth look at the arable crops sector in OECD countries and draws some conclusions about the impacts of agricultural support policies, trade liberalisation, agri-environmental payments, and agri-ennvironmental regulations.

The first study on the pig sector was published in 2003, and the second study on the dairy sector was published in 2004.
