RELU Special Issue: Editorial Reflections

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, Issue 2 2006
David R. Harvey
Abstract This special issue is special in two major dimensions: the papers range intentionally over a much wider spectrum of social and natural science approaches and disciplines than is normal for the Journal of Agricultural Economics; and, the articles relate to ongoing research rather than completed work. These reflections, perhaps peculiar to a practicing applied economist and policy analyst, concentrate on the lessons to be learned and messages to be heard from the RELU programme, both by those engaged on the programme's research portfolio, and by other researchers.

Agricultural Economics and Rural Development: Marriage or Divorce?

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, Issue 3 2001
Presidential Address
Rural development is a growing field of interest, both in policy and conceptual terms. However, it is sometimes loosely defined, and statistical information is therefore often confusing. This paper attempts to clarify some of the concepts involved, and then to explore the relationship between the study of rural development and that of agricultural economics. It is argued that much would be gained by a clearer separation between the economics of land, covering its environmental aspects as well as food production, and that of the rural population and economy. Links between the two certainly exist, but are better recognised individually, by analysts and policymakers alike. [source]

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS, Issue 2009
A. Bailey
Agricultural diversification; Food chains; Globalization; Transition economies Abstract This issue of,Agricultural Economics,contains articles from a seminar entitled "Small Farms: Decline or Persistence?" held at the University of Kent. This issue includes nine papers selected from more than 50 papers presented at the seminar. Articles published use a range of econometric and simulation methods to provide a suite of case studies. Topics studied range from such fundamental issues as what constitutes a small farm to recent trends in the diversification of small farms and their integration into modern globalized food chains. Several papers emphasize the link between agricultural policy development and the future of small farms. [source]

Food prices; Food markets; Food policy; Poverty Abstract This issue of Agricultural Economics contains articles on the causes and effects of rising food prices. All papers were subject to full, double-blind peer review on an accelerated basis, in an effort to publish the best new research as quickly as possible. We received more than 60 submissions; referees were given three weeks to respond, and authors of candidate papers had an additional week to revise their work before final acceptance. Articles published use descriptive, econometric, and simulation methods for both global overviews and case studies. [source]
