Climate Change and Agricultural Trade: Who Benefits, Who Loses?

  • Conference paper
Climate Change and World Food Security

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASII,volume 37))

Abstract

The net economic effect of climate change on the agriculture of any country will depend as much on its role in agricultural trade as on the impacts of the changed climate on crop yields. To examine the central role of trade, the balance between the gains and losses of agricultural producers and consumers, and the implications for agricultural policy, we employ a model of world food markets under conditions of simulated climate change and crop yields.
