| Summary / Abstract (Note) | FROM THE VIEWPOINT of macroeconomic analysis, food production and agriculture are being increasingly pushed to the background because industrialization and urbanization are enhancing the role of industrial production and services in the structure of economy and employment. Economically advanced countries have traveled a long way in this respect. Developing countries and transitional economies follow suit. Even so food remains essential in sustaining human life. When crop failures cause shortages of food they hit hardest developing countries, but also affect developed regions via the world trade channels. What's more, food shortages cause social unrest, which sends streams of refugees from the worst-hit countries. |
