Deadline June 16, 2023. Call for Papers: Virtual Special Issue of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics on the Economics of Inequity in Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Systems Government, industry, and non-profit leaders in agriculture and natural resources have growing interest in addressing problems of inequity in agricultural, food, and environmental systems. Large gaps exist in the economic research needed to inform those efforts, however. The Co-Editors of the AJAE are organizing a virtual special issue of research papers that fill important gaps in our knowledge about these issues. To qualify for expedited review, papers should be submitted to the AJAE by July 21, 2023. 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 People Section
Other News 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 Call for contributions for one-day virtual conference: September 13, 2023 - Online Efforts to recruit and retain the next generation of farmers have traditionally focused on supporting the farm business through a focus on access to land, capital, and business management skills. While addressing these barriers are important, these efforts are likely insufficient as they fail to consider the full suite of social and economic challenges faced by farm households. From a theoretical standpoint, farm families are embedded in a complex agri-family system. Within the micro-level of this system, the farm household and the farm operation are interconnected through the constant exchange of resources (i.e. time and money). Challenges faced by the farm business can therefore have negative consequences on the farm household challenges faced by the farm household can negatively impact the farm business. Despite these theoretical insights and some empirical evidence that farm families experience household-level challenges connected to health insurance and health care, childcare, and insufficient household income, we know little about how household challenges impact the farm business. Directly connected to this knowledge gap is a limited understanding of the ways in which existing social programs and policies (which are specifically designed to meet these needs) may support farm sector profitability, survivability, resilience, and transition. 68th Annual Conference of the Australasian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society Date: February 6-9, 2024 Description: Theme: Grand Challenges at the Frontier of Applied Economics Water Economics and Policy Journal: Call for Papers for a Special Issue Climate change in MENA countries as well as Northern Mediterranean countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Greece, and Southern France) has already made an evident impact affecting rain-fed agriculture as well as surface water reservoirs, aquifers’ natural recharge and cities. Crop varieties and tree species currently under cultivation in the Southern Mediterranean would progressively be appropriate in the North Mediterranean farming systems for adaptation. Rain is becoming more sporadic and more intensive with fewer number of rainy days, higher temperatures, and longer summer months, leading to crop area shrinkage and increased need for water desalination. Hence, the increased water scarcity is affecting all the economic sectors (agriculture, water utilities, industry, tourism, and the environment) and driving a higher demand for water, including for adaptation purposes. Domestic urban and rural water are under increased stress/variability and water service failures/interruptions are becoming more frequent causing social discontent. Although quantitative technical-physical climate impacts are quite abundant, the lack of economic value tags attached to such studies makes them less valuable for policy consideration and undertaking the necessary shifts and adaptations. Previous economic impact studies based their adaptation measures on deficit irrigation for instance, however data is showing that aquifers are under high stress and cannot be used for such a purpose. Similarly, surface water reservoirs’ storage capacity is negatively affected by siltation caused by the more torrential sporadic intensive rains reducing the supply of water and increasing the supply uncertainty. This special issue of Water Economics and Policy aims to bridge this gap. Special Issue in Food Policy: Transforming Global Agri-Food Value Chains This special issue of Food Policy invites research papers that contribute to our understanding of the complex relationships between agri-food value chains, trade, domestic and international policies, and global value chains (GVCs). Recent socioeconomic and political events (e.g., COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine War) challenge conventional wisdom regarding the structure and importance of agri-food GVCs, raising the need for new research. The transformation of agri-food GVCs is necessary for addressing some of the global challenges identified in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We encourage studies that address various aspects of the issues facing agri-food GVCs and their impact on various socioeconomic outcomes, such as food safety, consumer nutrition and health, employment and wages, and technology spillovers. We welcome submissions based on diverse approaches and methods (e.g., empirical and qualitative analyses, simulation models, case studies, and systematic reviews). We welcome submissions from various relevant disciplines, including applied economics, food systems science, transportation sciences, and other sciences, provided the studies are accessible to scientists from different disciplines. |
