<i>'This book edited by Jeff Bennett, Xuehong Wang and Lei Zhang fills the gap in the literature admirably. . . this book will be of great interest to economists examining agro-environmental problems and solutions in China and elsewhere. The economic analyses in each of the chapters are insightful in their own right and in some cases (bioeconomic and choice modelling) employ highly innovative techniques. The success with which the economic analyses are drawn together is a testament to the well-designed research approach of the book and of the Australia-China collaborative research project on which it is based, and the study's market-based approach, the valuations and the recommendations will be useful to policymakers in China as they design and refine agro-environmental programs into the future. Of most interest will be the on-the-ground trials of the market-based instruments proposed by the authors.'</i>
