Basic Elements of Agricultural Competitiveness In Three Parts: Economics andPolicy, Geography, and History

摘要

The goal of the booklet is to explain the basic principles of agriculturalcompetitiveness from three different perspectives-economics and policy, geography, and history. The three points of view are not mutually exclusive but strongly overlapping. The authors review the basic economic principles that underlie successful competition, show how international conditions and policies can modify these underlying principles, illustrate with maps and other diagrams the recent structure of international agriculture, and then trace the trends.
