Publisher Synopsis
"Westhoff (Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, Univ. of Missouri) offers his perspective on the markets for food, based on a lifetime of experience in the agricultural sector. His story starts with his childhood in rural Iowa, continues as a Peace Corps volunteer, and eventually leads to a doctorate in agricultural economics and a career in government and academia. His expertise is combined with a humility concerning the ability to accurately predict the future of agricultural markets. On short, an inviting examination of an important topic. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers and all levels of undergraduate students. Reprinted with permission from CHOICE, copyright by the American Library Association. Read more...
