Economic Impacts of COVID-19 on Food and Agricultural Markets

That’s the title of a new report I co-edited with John Anderson at the University of Arkansas, which was released today by the Council of Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) and the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). We brought together 17 short articles by more than 30 outstanding food and agricultural economists to address a broad range of impacts brought about by the pandemic. Here are the list of topics covered.

Hopefully the report will help improve understanding of our food supply chains, give an appreciation of the magnitudes of the disruptions, and lead to more informed policy responses.

You can read the whole thing here.

Thanks to all the authors who contributed and to the reviewers who gave prompt and excellent feedback.
