Sustainable Development and International Food Trade Policies

With a particular focus on developing economies, this book explores the intersection between agri-environmental policy, food policy, agricultural trade policy and sustainable development. The book explores the many factors which shape sustainable development policies in agriculture. On the production side, using environmentally friendly inputs and good agricultural practices to protect the land and other related resources are necessary conditions for sustainable agriculture. On the other hand, ensuring food safety, security, and sustainable consumption are necessary elements of sustainable food policies and development. In addition, as the agricultural sector grows in an economy, energy needs become a major issue, especially for countries that depend on import. The book explores how these elements are balanced - along with global factors such as foreign direct investment, international climate change provisions, and the role of the WTO - in domains such as value chains, biotechnology, gender equality, ecology and trade-environment interaction. This book will be of great interest to advanced readers in the fields of agricultural policy, food trade policy, and sustainable development--
