Agricultural Economics: Pearson New International Edition Paperback – 1 November 2013

by H. Drummond (Author)
4.4 out of 5 stars 52 ratings
Agricultural Economics, 3rd Edition, offers a broad view of the food system, emphasising the links between and among financial institutions, the macro economy, world markets, government programs, farms, agribusinesses, food marketing, and the environment. The text lays out the basic theory of microeconomics with numerous examples from the food and agricultural industries, while its coverage of macroeconomics emphasises real world applications rather than pure theory. Addressing many topics lightly instead of one or two topics in depth, the text allows flexibility for instructors to "skip around" topics.

Product description

From the Back Cover

New organization makes the third edition a more effective learning tool for instructors and students:

  • Chapters have been substantially reorganized into four sections: Foundations, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Advanced Topics.
  • Micro now precedes macro–a change that many reviewers suggested.

New content updates this text with the latest on agribusiness and current economic issues:

  • Material has been added to several chapters dealing with the 2008-09 financial crises in the US.
  • A section of futures options has been added, showing how options can be used as a risk management tool.
  • The chapter on agricultural policy has been completely revamped to cover the 2007 farm bill.
  • Economic data has been updated as much as possible to 2007 or 2008.
  • Newly added at the end of most chapters, Sources of Information offers students Web addresses to explore topics covered in the chapter in more depth.
  • The test bank in the Instructor’s Manual has been substantially edited to remove redundant questions.

    Decided to get Ebook this time. Glad I did. The search feature helped out tremendously. You must read this book to get so education from it. I actually learned a lot from this book, but I also had an excellent Dr. who taught the class.

    This is a pretty good textbook; it explains the information in an easy to understand manner. I would have given this book a 5/5 but I honestly can't stand Economics in any form.
