Abstract
This chapter seeks to offer an overview of recent issues in sustainable development and environmental security policy, as far as resource management is concerned. The focus is on agricultural policy analysis, with particular attention paid to the development of an operational decision support system. Three topics receive particular attention: the use of relevant indicators, the development of a set of critical threshold conditions, and the design of an assessment and evaluation methodology.
