“Both food security and global trade are complex systems, and the relationship between the two is equally intricate. Untangling this relationship requires robust evidence and first-rate experts who can evaluate and analyze the many factors and theories involved. Agriculture, Development, and the Global Trading System: 2000-2015 provides just that. The book covers food security and world trade from a variety of angles, fleshing out the history, rationale, and implications of such important topics as the WTO’s Doha Development Round, agricultural insurance, and food stockholding programs.”
