Modern society is currently facing a cascade of environmental
crises. Moving forward, it will be the job of current and future
generations to develop sound and creative approaches to addressing
them. This book attempts to provide insight into the ways in which
society can confront modern agricultural, environmental, and
resource challenges. In particular, it provides an economic lens
with which to examine and confront these issues. The first part of
the book introduces a general economic framework that can be used
to analyze these issues. Subsequent chapters rely on this framework
to introduce and explain specific concepts in agricultural,
environmental, and resource economics, including (but not limited
to) non-renewable and renewable resource management, pesticide use,
and climate change. The book develops quantitative tools that the
readership can use to analyze and better understand the
complexities of these challenges. Each chapter includes specific
applications, and an accompanying Appendix includes a longer list
of practice problems that can be brought into courses as exercises.
