29th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMISTS - Agriculture in an Interconnected World

Agriculture in an Interconnected World is intended to capture the widespread adoption of new communication technologies. The theme embraces a broad range of interconnections that are contributing to unprecedented changes in global agriculture, such as:

- links between agricultural and energy markets through biofuels and inputs of fuel and fertilizer;
- links between agriculture and other uses of land;
- links between agriculture and other sectors, as labor moves out of agriculture in dveloping countries;
- the supermarket revolution in developing countries.
