Green growth strategies in agriculture in OECD countries

Chapter 2 discusses the approaches that countries are taking towards establishing green growth strategies in agriculture, including strategic objectives and targets. While most OECD countries have some policies in place relating to green growth, the degree of ambition shows considerable variation. The most commonly mentioned strategic objectives refer to energy and to greenhouse gas emissions. Some countries have objectives relating to promoting sustainable production and consumption while very few have reported objectives aimed at creating more green jobs in the agricultural sector.This chapter also discusses the implementation of the OECD framework for monitoring progress towards green growth in agriculture.
