International trade in agricultural products is a significant and multifaceted phenomenon, costing billions of dollars annually and being influenced by a range of factors, including climate change, food policy, and government legislation. The third edition of Agricultural Policy, Agribusiness, and Rent-Seeking Behaviour, a comprehensive economic analysis of the policies that impact agriculture and agribusiness in Canada and the United States, seeks to shed light on these complex issues.
The third edition of Agricultural Policy, Agribusiness, and Rent-Seeking Behaviour includes new chapters on food pyramids, climate change, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), providing a comprehensive overview of the current agricultural policies. It also highlights the impact of international policies on Canadian trade, particularly the problematic US ethanol policy.
In addition to addressing current issues, such as the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on agricultural value chains and the growing prevalence of opioid use, the new edition of Agricultural Policy, Agribusiness, and Rent-Seeking Behaviour delves into key findings and discusses ongoing debates on topics such as foreign ownership of Canadian farmland.
This book appeals to a wide range of audiences, including students in agricultural economics and policy, policymakers, agricultural firms, energy companies, and readers interested in reducing their nations' carbon footprint. It offers valuable insights and perspectives on the complex dynamics of international trade in agricultural products and the policies that shape them.
