Resumen
Descripción
This paper summarizes information on the importance of the objectives of agriculture and
agricultural policies based on previous studies. We focus on studies that examine stakeholder
preferences and provide relative weights for the economic, social and environmental
dimensions of sustainability. Descriptive and meta-analysis are used to evaluate the 34
identified studies. The findings show the equal importance of the economic, social and
environmental objectives of agriculture, but also that the general public emphasizes social
values, while economic considerations are highlighted in nation-wide studies. Of the
environmental objectives, those pertaining to sustainable resource management have received
most weight.
