‘Using Australia as the primary case study, Natural Capital, Agriculture and the Law provides what is unquestionably the most complete and up-to-date assessment of the role law can play to advance the use of natural capital and ecosystem services economics and ecology in a wide array of policy domains, from market-based instruments to regulation to international trade and environmental law. It is indispensable reading not only for those new to the concepts of natural capital and ecosystem services, but also to those who have followed these themes closely since their appearance on the environmental policy stage 25 years ago.’
