Call for Special Issue - Fields of Discord: Understanding the Intersection of Geopolitics and Agriculture

The relationship between geopolitics and agriculture is increasingly important as the world faces numerous challenges related to food security, climate change, and economic development. In addition, the competition for resources and the global interconnectedness of markets and economies make the relationship between geopolitics and agriculture complex and multifaceted. The special issue in Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy will bring together academic scholarship to explore the intersection of geopolitics and agriculture. Selected papers will discuss the challenges and opportunities this complex relationship presents, including the potential for conflict and tension arising from competing interests and priorities considering economic, social, and environmental aspects. The special issue will examine how agricultural practices intersect with global politics, from land use and resource management to trade policies and food security. Submission deadline of September 30, 2023

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Agricultural Finance Review on the Farm Bill

The guest editors for a special issue of the Agricultural Finance Review on “New Developments in U.S. Agricultural Lending: Implications for Federal Farm Bill Programs” invite authors to submit articles for consideration. This issue aims to provide timely insights into how the current agricultural credit and financial landscape is relevant for ongoing discussions about the next Farm Bill cycle, which begins this year. This special issue will advance knowledge on agricultural lending and related topics that can inform the upcoming Farm Bill and agricultural policy more generally. We intend to achieve this goal by publishing papers on diverse topics with connections to agricultural lending and policy, including labor, trade, and finance. The focus should be on relating those topics to recent changes that have occurred in the agricultural credit and financial landscape from 2018 onwards, including evaluation of government programs. Novel analyses of agricultural lending that are relevant to agricultural policy would also be suitable.

Articles must be submitted by August 30. Please contact the guest editors (below) for more information or visit this website.

Guest Editors: Anil K. Giri, USDA-ERS: anil.giri@usda.gov; Margaret Jodlowski, The Ohio State University: jodlowski.1@osu.edu; Jennifer Ifft, Kansas State University: jifft@ksu.edu; Dipak Subedi, USDA-ERS: dipak.subedi@usda.gov
