This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Balancing trade liberalization and protectionism is imperative for the provision of food security for all.

The book also examines the effects of tariff escalations, administrative restrictions, other forms of trade protectionism on food security, and the emerging trade tensions between major actors such as the US, China, the EU, and Russia. Featuring research on topics including plant fertility, dietary diversity, and protectionism, this book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers, agribusiness managers, stakeholders, international tradesmen, researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and students.
