It offers a unique perspective by combining economic analysis with the social and environmental implications of global food trade.
Challenging simplistic views, Global Food Trade highlights the need for nuanced approaches to food governance. It leverages empirical evidence from organizations like the WTO and FAO, case studies, and econometric analysis to offer insights.
