Emerging policy challenges for the agri-food sector
作为欧洲农业经济学协会第八届大会的报告，回顾了会上关于农业食品部门政策问题的论文分布，指出传统政策分析、转型经济学和环境经济学是热点，而农场调整、农村发展和食品工业研究不足。
Over 300 papers were presented to the VIIIth Congress of the European Agricultural Economics Association, of which around 100 dealt with policy issues facing the agrifood sector. This article was presented as a rapporteur's report to the final plenary session of the Congress. It reviews the distribution of papers by thematic issue and highlights some relevant research findings presented to the Congress. The Congress attracted papers largely in the areas of traditional policy analysis transition economics and environmental economics, while work reporting on farm-level adjustments, rural development and the food industry was under-represented. The article concludes that, on the basis of the work presented at the Congress, the agricultural economics profession continues to have an important and lively research agenda.
