This book provides an in-depth analysis of the wheat production
developments in the Eurasian region and assesses the potential
contribution of the region to domestic and international food
security. In particular, the book covers policy and institutional
developments of the agricultural sector in Eurasia with a special
focus on the horizontal issues relevant to the current and future
potential growth of the wheat production, such as land policy,
credit and finance, privatization, farm restructuring, and
environmental challenges. Global food security is a major societal
concern in the light of an increasing population, which is
projected to grow from around seven billion today to almost 10
billion in 2050. Two most likely ways to achieve the much needed
food production growth are: expansion of land cultivation or
increase in crop yields and total factor productivity. The only
region with a significant amount of uncultivated arable land that
is at the same time experiencing rising agricultural productivity
is the "Eurasian wheat belt," comprising of Russia, Ukraine,
Kazakhstan, and the Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kirgizstan). This makes the region a
potential hotspot for driving the future growth of global
agriculture. Such prospects require a detailed investigation of
Eurasia's future perspectives in terms of food production (with a
focus on wheat) and its potential contribution to regional and
global food security.
This open access book discusses the current role of smallholders in
connection with food security and poverty reduction in developing
countries. It addresses the opportunities they enjoy, and the
constraints they face, by analysing the availability, access to and
utilization of production factors. Due to the relevance of
smallholder farms, enhancing their production capacities and
economic and social resilience could produce positive impacts on
food security and nutrition at a number of levels. In addition to
the role of small farmers as food suppliers, the book considers
their role as consumers and their level of nutrition security. It
investigates the link between agriculture and nutrition in order to
better understand how agriculture affects human health and dietary
patterns. Given the importance of smallholdings, strategies to
increase their productivity are essential to improving food and
nutrition security, as well as food diversity.
In recent years, developed countries have formulated public
policies in agriculture ranging from supporting rural life and farm
income to promoting sustainability of food and fibre production.
Public Policy in Agriculture: Impact on Labor Supply and Household
Income addresses the lack of empirical research in this area. It
explores the impact of differing approaches to public policy
through a series of international case studies, from the USA and
Canada to South Korea, Norway, Slovenia and Taiwan. At a time when
much of the developed world has been experiencing budget deficits
and policy-makers and the public in general have re-opened the
debate on public expenditures in the agricultural sector, this is a
timely volume. Mishra, Viaggi and Gomez y Paloma have written an
authoritative guide to agricultural public policy that will serve
as a reference for academics, researchers, students, and
policy-makers.
