Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy analysis is a dynamic process of discovery rather than a passive exercise of memorizing facts and conclusions. This text provides opportunities to "practice the craft" of policy analysis by engaging the reader in realistic case studies and problem-solving scenarios that require the selection and use of applicable investigative techniques. US Agricultural and Food Policies will assist undergraduate students to learn how policy choices impact the overall performance of agricultural and food markets. It encourages students to systematically investigate scenarios with appropriate positive and normative tools. The book emphasizes the importance of employing critical thinking skills to address the complexities associated with the design and implementation of twenty-first-century agricultural and food policies. Students are asked to suspend their personal opinions and emotions, and instead apply research methods that require the careful consideration of both facts and values. The opportunities to build these investigative skills are abundant when we consider the diversity of modern agricultural and food policy concerns. Featuring case studies and critical thinking exercises throughout and supported by a Companion Website with slides, a test bank, glossary, and web/video links, this is the ideal textbook for any agricultural policy class.

Download or read book Food Security Policy in Africa Between Disaster Relief and Structural Adjustment written by Gabriele Geier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the FAO, one person in three in sub-Saharan Africa suffers from malnutrition, and one in seven is in danger of dying. Most African countries no longer seem capable of ensuring that their people have access to sufficient food. Given the failure of past efforts the objectives of food security policies and their effectiveness have to be reconsidered. This book shows that the debate on food security policies has changed with the passage of time. The entitlement debate triggered by A. Sen had a major influence on this change but, the bearing of socio-economic structures on the food security of African households and their individual members are still not fully recognised.

Whether theoretically or using mathematical methods, microeconomics can explain how economic actors behave under which conditions.In particular, the basics of microeconomics are also the foundations of many economic areas. Modern macroeconomics, for example, is inconceivable without microeconomic methodology, and political economy or the theory of development economics cannot do without microeconomic ideas either.The first part of the oikonomia geeks microeconomics series explains the consumer optimum of household theory.

Book excerpt: Dive into optimal conusmption decisions of microeconomic household theoryMicroeconomics looks at households, producers, and the state. The focus is always on individual actors and their relationships with one another. Whether theoretically or using mathematical methods, microeconomics can explain how economic actors behave under which conditions. In particular, the basics of microeconomics are also the foundations of many economic areas. Modern macroeconomics, for example, is inconceivable without microeconomic methodology, and political economy or the theory of development economics cannot do without microeconomic ideas either. The first part of the oikonomia geeks microeconomics series explains the consumer optimum of household theory. The optimal consumer decision is explained from the assumptions about the relevant functions to the mathematical derivation of the optimum. Content It starts with the setting of microeconomic theory, defines and models utility, introduces indifference curves and budget restrictions, and finals in the optimal consumption decision of a consumer. Beneath a formal approach to explaining functions and their dependencies step-by-step, the analysis leads to a detailed description of the Lagrange optimization method. The explanations are deliberately kept elementary. Beyond school mathematics, there are no prerequisites for understanding. This study helper is perfect for students in their first semesters. It is aimed at major and minor students of economics and all interested friends of economic theory. Each of us always has to make economic decisions. Understanding why some decisions are necessary, better, or worse than others helps people make better decisions in their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Research Council's Science and Technology for Sustainability Program hosted two workshops in 2011 addressing the sustainability challenges associated with food security for all. The first workshop, Measuring Food Insecurity and Assessing the Sustainability of Global Food Systems, explored the availability and quality of commonly used indicators for food security and malnutrition; poverty; and natural resources and agricultural productivity. It was organized around the three broad dimensions of sustainable food security: (1) availability, (2) access, and (3) utilization. The workshop reviewed the existing data to encourage action and identify knowledge gaps. The second workshop, Exploring Sustainable Solutions for Increasing Global Food Supplies, focused specifically on assuring the availability of adequate food supplies. How can food production be increased to meet the needs of a population expected to reach over 9 billion by 2050? Workshop objectives included identifying the major challenges and opportunities associated with achieving sustainable food security and identifying needed policy, science, and governance interventions. Workshop participants discussed long term natural resource constraints, specifically water, land and forests, soils, biodiversity and fisheries. They also examined the role of knowledge, technology, modern production practices, and infrastructure in supporting expanded agricultural production and the significant risks to future productivity posed by climate change. This is a report of two workshops.
