ABSTRACT The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) play a central role in how agricultural commodity markets process information about supply, demand, and prices. This study examines how global and domestic shocks, as well as policy interventions, are reflected in the similarity of WASDE ...

Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar
ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National
