Population growth and food supply have long been of central concern
to economists. The World Food Economy examines the
lessons of the past while assessing 21st century and future
challenges, including food shortages, global hunger, and economic
inequality. With the demand for food and the population
growing at an unprecedented rate, this text provides students with
a timely, relevant, and unique overview of the world of
agricultural production. New coverage in the Second Edition
explains how productivity has risen around the globe throughout the
last century through technological advances and how consumers and
producers in every part of the world—rich and poor
alike—feel the effects of expanded global commodity trade,
food aid, and national legislation in response to globalization.
