"The Use and Abuse of Multifunctionality"
by Bohman, Mary, Joseph Cooper, Daniel Mullarkey, Mary Anne Normile, David Skully, Daniel Vogel and Edwin Young


Abstract
In the next round of multilateral trade negotiations, some countries have indicated
that they would like to create exemptions for certain production-related support. These countries
argue that agricultural production creates additional joint or spillover benefits, such as open
space, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, an assured supply of food, and viable rural communities.
They maintain that supporting agricultural production using production-linked payments
enhances the multifunctional character of their agriculture. Thus, they say, production-linked
payments are necessary to obtain socially desired nonfood outputs.
