Definition

  • The economics of food is a broad, complex topic involving many issues such as commodities, food markets and prices, international trade, security, consumption, assistance programs, safety, biotechnology, labeling, and organic agriculture. U.S. and global economic polices concerning agriculture, trade, investment, and marketing of food affect what the world eats and therefore can be regarded as global health policies.
