One of the most serious problems facing the Middle East and North
Africa · is the region's growing inability to feed its expanding
population. Rapidly escalating demand has made the region highly
dependent on food imports, and policy initiatives intended to
increase domestic production have met with mixed success at best.
The contributors to this volume examine the historical origins of
state policies toward agriculture, recent policy changes and their
effects on domestic supply, and the social and political
implications of these shifts. Focusing on the region's largest
agricultural economies, contributors analyze Turkey's strong
performance as well as Egypt's weak response to its agricultural
problems. Pricing, investment strategies, irrigation policies, and
the impact of large-scale labor migration on agricultural sectors
are discussed, and a common theme of the interplay between politics
and economics runs throughout.
