The production and regulation of agricultural biodiversity

保护生物多样性对农业和农村社区的长期可持续性至关重要。在短期内，具有明显生态属性的产品（如有机食品）具有明显的市场优势，进入美国、欧盟和日本的出口市场越来越依赖于满足最低环境和食品安全标准。通过评估如何动员整个食物链中的人们来保护生物多样性，这项研究将为旨在提高澳大利亚农村社会和经济福利的政策和其他战略做出重大贡献。

Protecting biodiversity is critical for long-term sustainability of agriculture and rural communities. In the shorter-term, products with demonstrable ecological attributes such as organic foods enjoy distinct market advantages, and access to export markets in the US, EU and Japan is increasingly dependent on satisfying minimum environmental and food safety standards. By evaluating how people throughout the entire food chain may be mobilised to preserve biodiversity this research will make a significant contribution to policy and other strategies oriented towards enhancing the social and economic welfare of rural Australia.
