Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue investigates the nexus of international trade governance and foreign direct investment policies, and macroeconomic linkages related to sustainable agricultural economics. Economic policies must positively impact globally relevant issues such as climate change, water scarcity, food insecurity, poverty alleviation, environmental degradation, and resource sustainability (water, soil, and nitrogen fertilizer, etc.). Sustainability is particularly crucial when it comes to policy formulation and analysis, while conflicting economic, environmental, and social objectives move toward a resolution.
We are seeking manuscripts investigating agricultural sustainability as it relates to the interaction of agricultural trade governance and environmental policies, the liberalization of specific agricultural trade, the environmentally friendly technology transfer in agriculture, free trade agreements, exchange rate policies, and biofuel policies. These polices have important effects on the trade and prices of environmentally sensitive goods. Selected papers will undergo rigorous peer review and are streamlined for rapid, widespread dissemination of the results.
