Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In both agriculture as well as nonagricultural sectors, public sentiment for responsible production has risen to great heights. Alongside populist calls for reducing global warming, longstanding environmental and ecological issues related to agricultural and industrial production are receiving greater attention. Livestock producers face growing pressures to reduce odor as well as downstream surface and ground water pollution. Sediment and nutrient transport from row-crop agriculture is often associated with coastal and inland water impairment. Similarly, public and private utilities face regulatory and public pressure to mitigate point-source pollutants emitted as byproducts of their operations. Regardless of the nature and scope of the issue, it has become increasingly clear that careful economic analyses are foundational to sustainable solutions to these challenges.
This Special Issue contributes to our understanding of the economic underpinnings of current and emerging natural resource, environmental, and ecological issues including, among others, ecosystem service markets, emissions trading, renewable and nonrenewable energy, climate change, sustainability, resource conservation, benefit valuation, and water and air pollution mitigation. We welcome purely economic analyses as well as interdisciplinary studies within the scope of environmental and natural resource economics. Original works and reviews are both welcome, as long as they contribute significantly to our understanding of the economics of environmental and ecological issues, particularly as related to agriculture.
Dr. Edward Osei
