商品描述
This book offers a research-based, holistic overview of the entire value chain of the global food industry. It captures and defines over 80 contemporary 'megatrends' in agriculture and the food market that can be empirically documented and have a major impact on business, economies, industries, societies, and individuals.
Today the world is characterized by more uncertainty and unpredictability than in previous periods. In the midst of these changing times, the book demonstrates how a number of more stable trends still exist within global agriculture, which can be important indicators in both the short and long term. The book highlights how developments in agriculture, the food industry and food markets have a central position in policy debates around climate change, sustainability, food crises, hunger, and food supply, and shows how by identifying various megatrends and their underlying economic drivers, as well as potential disruptive forces, we can reduce both risk and vulnerability in the future. Megatrends within consumption, food loss, food crises, international trade, retail industry and ownership of farms are discussed and their relevance illuminated for a wide range of stakeholders, including policy-makers and agri-businesses, as well as farmers and consumers. This book will be a useful resource for researchers in agricultural and environmental economics, as well as policy-makers and professionals in agri-food organisations and public food institutions.
This is an open access book.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書提供了一個基於研究的、全面的全球食品產業價值鏈概述。它捕捉並定義了超過80個當代農業和食品市場的“超級趨勢”,這些趨勢可以通過實證來證明,並對企業、經濟、行業、社會和個人產生重大影響。
如今,世界比以往任何時候都更加不確定和不可預測。在這個變動的時代中,本書展示了全球農業中仍存在一些相對穩定的趨勢,這些趨勢在短期和長期都可能是重要的指標。本書強調了農業、食品產業和食品市場的發展在氣候變化、可持續性、食品危機、飢餓和食品供應等政策辯論中的核心地位,並展示了通過識別各種超級趨勢及其潛在的經濟驅動因素以及潛在的破壞性力量,我們可以減少未來的風險和脆弱性。本書討論了消費、食品損失、食品危機、國際貿易、零售業和農場所有權等超級趨勢,並闡明了它們對各方利益相關者的重要性,包括政策制定者和農業企業,以及農民和消費者。本書將成為農業和環境經濟學研究人員、政策制定者以及農食組織和公共食品機構的專業人士的有用資源。
本書是一本開放存取的書籍。
