A textbook on Food Economics

I had the pleasure to read an early release version of the new textbook: Food Economics: Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health by Will Masters and Amelia Finaret. A description is below.

Food Economics and its accompanying online resources are designed for advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate courses in agriculture, food, and nutrition policy. The book covers the standard diagrams taught in principles-level courses, with concrete examples and practical insights regarding food production, consumption, and trade. Online resources include data sources, and course materials, including slides, exercises, exams, and answer keys.

You can download the book here. The course materials are here.
