Workshop: “Crises in Agriculture and Resources Sectors: Analysis of Policy Responses”
The Farmlevel Policy Network co-sponsored the workshop on “Crises in Agriculture and Resources Sectors: Analysis of Policy Responses” in October 2006.
Selected papers from the workshop underwent peer review coordinated by guest editors Kathy Baylis (CATPRN member), Vic Adamowicz (CAES president) and Jim Unterschultz (FLP network leader).
These papers are featured in a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics (December 2007, Volume 55 Issue 4, pages 399-590) which is available to subscribers on the Blackwell publishers website.
