'Although written by an environmental sociologist this is a book aimed at all those interested in formulating more sustainable social and economic policy, crossing disciplinary lines and delivering a message of hopeful optimism in an increasingly divided and dystopian world. Lockie demonstrates how environmental policy can draw on multiple methodologies, including market mechanisms, while asserting that it needs to be firmly located within a framework of democracy and accountability. It is a must-read in the twenty-first century'
Michael Redclift, Emeritus Professor of International Environmental Policy, Department of Geography, Kings College, University of London, UK
'This volume provides a thoughtful analysis on how and under what conditions market-based approaches do and do not support sustainable agriculture and resource management. A balanced, well-written and informative argument for scholars, governments, communities and the private sector to move beyond market ideologies.'
Professor Arthur P.J. Mol, Rector Magnificus, Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands
'A systematic, well-documented and convincing argument that market instruments are necessary but not sufficient tools to deal with agri-environmental challenges and the global climate crisis.'
E. Melanie DuPuis, Professor of Environmental Studies and Science, Dyson College of Arts & Sciences, Pace University, US
