Food Economics Textbook

Food Economics is now published, Open Access by Palgrave-Macmillan. 

See the website for the book here: Teaching food economics

See Will Masters and I talking with Norbert Wilson on his podcast The Leading Voices in Food about the book here: Learning food economics makes all economics easier
