Global interest in the exploration of the Arctic has been growing
rapidly. As the Arctic becomes a global resource base and trade
corridor between the continents, it is crucial to identify the
dangers that such a boom of extractive industries and transport
routes may bring on the people and the environment. International
Collaboration, Economic Development, and Sustainability in the
Arctic discusses the perspectives and major challenges of the
investment collaboration and development and commercial use of
trade routes in the Arctic. Featuring research on topics such as
agricultural production, environmental resources, and investment
collaboration, this book is ideally designed for policymakers,
business leaders, and environmental researchers seeking coverage on
new practices and solutions in the sphere of achieving
sustainability in economic exploration of the Artic region.
Free trade promotes economic growth through international
competition and the efficient allocation of resources while also
helping to stabilize food supplies between countries that have an
overabundance of product and countries that have a shortage.
However, sudden price surges can threaten the social cohesion of
developing countries and may lead to malnutrition and stunted
growth. Balancing trade liberalization and protectionism is
imperative for the provision of food security for all. The Handbook
of Research on Globalized Agricultural Trade and New Challenges for
Food Security is an essential publication that seeks to improve
food security, food independence, and food sovereignty in the
conditions of globalized agricultural trade and addresses the
contemporary issues of agricultural trade including major
commodities and food products traded between major countries,
directions of trade, and trends. The book also examines the effects
of tariff escalations, administrative restrictions, other forms of
trade protectionism on food security, and the emerging trade
tensions between major actors such as the US, China, the EU, and
Russia. Featuring research on topics including plant fertility,
dietary diversity, and protectionism, this book is ideally designed
for government officials, policymakers, agribusiness managers,
stakeholders, international tradesmen, researchers, industry
professionals, academicians, and students.
