强调中游农业食品价值链参与者在系统转型中的关键作用,探讨推动其成为变革动力的政策工具,并指出未来经济学研究的重要方向。
ABSTRACT The need for agrifood systems transformation to improve economic, environmental, equity, and health outcomes is widely recognized. Attention typically focuses on changing farming practices, consumers’ dietary choices, or both. Midstream agrifood value chain actors, who intermediate between primary producers and food consumers, too often get overlooked. This paper explains the importance of inducing midstream agrifood value chain actors to become active agents of agrifood systems transformation, discusses policy tools that can accelerate needed changes, and highlights key topics for future economics research.
