| Popis: | The interface between science and policy provides rich opportunities to frame both the science agenda and the policy agenda for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. This opportunity is rarely utilized to the extent that it could, however. The disciplines of science and policy are clearly distinct from one another, and they are based fundamentally on different thought processes. Because of this, it is extremely difficult and rare for an individual or indeed a single group to maintain skills and knowledge at the forefront of both disciplines simultaneously. In this paper, agriculture is used as a test case to explore ways of building and maximizing the intertwining of science and policy to deliver the most favoured outcomes—especially outcomes that deliver benefits to industry. Initially, there must be a very clear definition of the outcomes to be targeted, and science needs to articulate clearly both the base-line position of knowledge and a view of what is deemed feasible. Ultimately, change n... |
