contents Agriculture, trade and employment: a Global Green New Deal to address structural challenges Fatma Gül Unal (Author) Diana Vivienne Barrowclough (Author) This chapter focuses on agriculture as a sector highly integrated in trade that faces challenges in terms of both its labour practices and its environmental effects. The authors discuss the potential role of existing trade policies, including some recent regional trade agreements, in addressing these issues, and conclude that – instead of relying on trade policy alone – there is a need for coherence between distinct but intersecting policy spheres. In this regard, they put forward the Green New Deal as a possible option, as it offers a more comprehensive framework that brings together trade, finance, investment and employment policies in the course of an environmentally sustainable transition.
