Costing billions of dollars annually, international trade in
agricultural products is impactful and influenced by several
factors, including climate change, food policy, and government
legislation. The third edition of Agricultural Policy,
Agribusiness, and Rent-Seeking Behaviour provides comprehensive
economic analyses of the policies that affect agriculture and
agribusiness in Canada and the United States. Looking at current
agricultural policies, the third edition includes new chapters on
food pyramids, climate change, and GMOs, while also highlighting
the effect of international policies on Canadian trade, including
the problematic US ethanol policy. The new edition addresses
current issues, including how the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively
affected agricultural value chains and played a hand in the ongoing
growth in opioid use. Including a number of key findings, and
discussing current debates on topics including foreign ownership of
Canadian farmland, Agricultural Policy, Agribusiness, and
Rent-Seeking Behaviour will appeal to students in agricultural
economics and policy, as well as policymakers, agricultural firms,
energy companies, and readers wishing to reduce their nation’s
carbon footprint.
