This comprehensive book delves into the intricate interplay between agri-environmental policy, food policy, agricultural trade policy, and sustainable development, with a particular emphasis on developing economies. It examines the diverse factors that shape sustainable development policies in agriculture, encompassing both production and consumption aspects. On the production side, the adoption of environmentally friendly inputs and the implementation of good agricultural practices are essential prerequisites for sustainable agriculture. These measures aim to safeguard the land and other related resources, ensuring their long-term viability.

Conversely, sustainable food policies and development must prioritize ensuring food safety, security, and sustainable consumption. This involves addressing issues such as food waste, nutrition, and equitable access to food resources. Moreover, as the agricultural sector expands within an economy, the demand for energy rises, particularly in countries that rely on imports. This book explores the complex balance between these elements, along with global factors such as foreign direct investment, international climate change provisions, and the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It examines how these factors interact in domains such as value chains, biotechnology, gender equality, ecology, and trade-environment interaction.

This book is a valuable resource for advanced readers and scholars in the fields of agricultural policy, food trade policy, and sustainable development. It offers insightful perspectives and comprehensive analysis, contributing to our understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing these critical domains. By exploring the intersections between agri-environmental policy, food policy, agricultural trade policy, and sustainable development, this book provides valuable insights into the complex web of factors that shape our global food system and the pathways towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
