| Multifunctionality of agriculture is with the growing importance in agricultural policies. The main argument behind multifunctionality is that agricultural production and thus, the whole agricultural sector has multiple roles, not just to produce food and fiber, but also to provide several non-market commodities. Although agricultural policies in Europe set more and more emphasis on the importance of these non-commodity outputs it is hard to find policy measures designed directly for multifunctionality. The aim of our study is to find out actual and preferred policy measures in order to improve and/or to maintain the multifunctional role of agriculture. We have interviewed 24 Finnish experts about multifunctional agriculture and agricultural policy related... |

| In this paper we analyse, how food prices have been spread between different actors in the Finnish food chain in 2000-2007. In addition, we compare price formation in Finland to eight other countries. We argue that the main factors explaining different food price behaviour between different countries especially in Europe are; the level of processing in the consumed food products, domestic competition, availability of substitute products, domestic consumption structure and consumers’ preferences. Our results show, that retailers’ share of food prices has increased in Finland, while both the farmers’ and processors’ share has been decreasing. This development differs significantly between countries. Yet, it seems that the lack of competition gives retail... |

| In general, farmers are often found to be resistant to environmentally targeted agricultural policies. On the other hand, a part of farmers are clearly self-motivated to undertake farm practices that are beneficial to the environment and resource conservation. What motivates these farmers to participate? How much of this participation can be explained with attitudes, and where these attitudes arise from? In this paper, we analyze the effect of farmers‟ attitudes towards environmental policies and related issues on their farm level policy choice. The policy response analyzed is farmers‟ choice to implement voluntary contract-based special measures in the current agri-environmental support scheme. Our results show that farmers fall into different groups in... |

| While agricultural policies in Europe place ever greater emphasis on the importance of agricultures' multiple roles, it is difficult to find policy measures designed specially for multifunctionality. The aim of our study is to identify actual and preferred policy measures to improve or to maintain the multifunctional role of agriculture, or both. We used the applied policy Delphi method to interview 24 Finnish experts in order to map a preferred set of policy measures to truly enhance multifunctionality. The results indicate that Finnish experts prefer targeted measures based on different national, regional and local agricultural conditions, but may be unaware of the costs these targeted policies might cause. |

| The elements of multifunctional agriculture are strongly related to national, regional and local conditions. This indicates that it is hard to find common measures, which could efficiently enhance multifunctionality in different areas with different agricultural conditions. In order to really enhance the multifunctional role of agriculture, there is a need for newly designed measures. A need exists to have information from the groups involved in agricultural policy. To respond to this need we apply the stated choice method to find out, which measures Finnish farmers prefer when the measures introduced include multifunctionality enhancing elements. We introduced to farmers 12 different measures involving different levels of targeting, contracting and... |
