Agriculture economics analytics, bite-sized
In various issues of “Explained in brief” we provide short, analytical pieces on economic trends in Alberta's agricultural and agri-food industries. Topics cover farm economics and cost of production, economic impacts of crop and livestock diseases, and environmental and trade issues. The intent of the series is to unpack complex agricultural economics topics and make them available to a broader readership.
