Providing Agri environmental Public Goods through Collective Action This study analyses the promotion of collective action for agri environmental public goods and addresses externalities by reviewing the experience of various OECD member countries. Twenty five cases from 13 countries (Australia Belgium Canada Finland France Germany Italy Japan the Netherlands New Zealand Spain Sweden and the United Kingdom) are examined. The study shows that collective action should be given serious consideration as a means of addressing many agricultural and natural resource issues and in some cases collective action should be actively promoted.
