Agricultural Commodities, Trade and Sustainable Development
Agricultural Commodities, Trade and Sustainable Development
Edited by Thomas LinesInternational Institute of Environment and DevelopmentLondon2005ISBN 1843695731254 pp.US$36.00
The crisis in agricultural commodities is closely linked to issues of poverty and environmental degradation. Dealing with entrenched rural poverty and major impacts from agriculture on ecosystem viability requires a new look at how commodity markets succeed or fail. There is a need for better understanding of how commodity markets work and how policy makers and businesses can intervene to introduce fairness, justice and sustainability into these markets. This challenging context provides the background for this book, which brings together an edited selection of papers prepared for two strategic dialogues on commodities, trade and sustainable development, jointly convened by IIED and the ICTSD.
