Written for a first course in economics, this study guide presents the principles of both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Realizing that what was once "farm policy" is now "resource, agriculture and food" policy set in an international setting, the authors provide a source which encompasses the numerous recent developments and trends in this ever-changing field. Specifically developed to present the full range of basic economic theory, illustrated through examples from resource, agriculture and food issues, this text provides students with a solid foundation upon which they can build and move on to more advanced work in economics, agricultural economics and related courses in agricultural and allied disciplines. The text provides a strong focus on the international context of agriculture, presenting international examples throughout to remind students of the scope of agriculture and the pervasiveness of the economic approach to the problem.

Advanced communication systems, sophisticated financial markets, and new trading relationships interconnect nations and businesses like never before. Every farmer and agribusiness now competes in a world market. Agriculture and agribusiness are no longer limited to the traditional family farm while the farm as a unique economic entity still exists, many decisions about food production and distribution are made by large, multinational corporations. Knowledge of economic theory as it relates to agriculture, resources, and food is crucial for anyone involved in agricultural production. In this accessible book, Seitz, Nelson, and Halcrow introduce the principles of micro- and macroeconomics to students with no prior background in the subject. Additional sections cover market concepts, the role of agriculture in economic development, and the relationships between economics and policy. Examples throughout the book are drawn from contemporary issues in resources, agriculture, and food, including many international examples.
