		Central to environmental economics is the concept of an externality.
		Environmental economics was once distinct from resource economics but is now hard to distinguish as a separate field as the two became associated with sustainable development and more radical green economists split off to work on an alternate political economy.
		Environmental economics was a major influence on the theories of natural capitalism and environmental finance, which could be said to be two sub-branches of environmental economics concerned with resource conservation in production, and the value of biodiversity to humans, respectively.

	Chapter IX - Non-institutional sources of agricultural finance and environmental degradation
		To understand the role that banks play in financing agriculture, it is necessary to focus upon the broader capital market and upon the aggregate capital flows from all sources to the agricultural sector.
		The environmental impact achieved through managing the flow of loan capital must be confronted not only in the formal banking sector, but also in the far broader social stratum of the informal market.
		lf the environmental consequences of aggregate lending volumes are to be successfully improved, a broader approach to the flows of funds to agriculture must encompass all the sources of capital, especially the most important one, the informal sector.
