Nick Paulson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Russia's Ukraine war is stressing farmers in U.S. By: CBS News, Europe Breaking News, & KTVQ - April 7, 2022 Russia is the world's second largest producer of many key crop nutrients in a typical year, and since the war has affected access to key ports, some American producers are having trouble finding what they need to buy, according to Nick Paulson, Associate Professor in Agricultural Economics at the University of Illinois.

William Burke, Agricultural and Food Policy Consulting For Malawi, Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Presents Both Challenges and Opportunities By: Food Tank - April 2022 “The current spike in fertilizer prices highlights the already declining sustainability of a fertilizer-centric approach to agricultural production, let alone agricultural growth,” William J. Burke, Associate Professor of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics at Michigan State University and the Acting Research Director of the MwAPATA Institute in Malawi, tells Food Tank.

Linlin Fan, Pennsylvania State University Study Examines If There Is Something ‘Fishy’ Happening With Seafood Imports By: Phys.org - April 6, 2022 Reducing tariffs on imported goods is meant to remove trade barriers, but it doesn’t seem to be helping the seafood industry, which has experienced the same — if not more — import rejections and notifications at borders, according to research guided by an agricultural economist at Penn State. (Continued...) Wuyang Hu, The Ohio State University Meat industry not threatened by plant-based alternatives, study suggests By: Phys.org - April 11, 2022 The study showed that while sales and market share of new-generation plant-based meat alternatives have grown in recent years, those gains haven't translated into reduced consumer spending on animal meat products.

Sand Dall’erba, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Innovation flows across regions and sectors in complex ways, study shows By: Science Magazine & Invesbrain - April 5, 2022 “Our work provides a sort of cooking recipe for patent creation, with a list of ingredients that vary by industrial sector,” says Sandy Dall’erba, professor in the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics (ACE) and director of the Center for Climate, Regional, Environmental and Trade Economics (CREATE) at U of I. Dall’erba is a co-author on the study. (Continued...) Ani Katchova, The Ohio State University Farm Income Enhancement Program studies accuracy of agricultural baseline By: Ohio's Country Journal - April 4, 2022 “Farmers can feel good about putting more focus on the years to come by utilizing the projections,” Katchova said. “For example, a farmer could determine what future crops to plant for many years based on the harvested acres and yield baseline projections.” Katchova’s team, which includes PhD candidates Siddhartha Bora, Rabail Chandio, and Kexin Ding, hopes other economists are inspired to examine the baseline projections more closely. (Continued...) Ian Sheldon, The Ohio State University How will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affect US agriculture? By: News Journal - April 8, 2022 The shock to global commodity markets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is expected to be the largest in the post-war period, and certainly since the oil crisis of the 1970s. Over the past 30 years, the two countries have become major agricultural exporters, accounting for a quarter of global grains trade in the 2021-22 season (International Grains Council, March 9, 2022). (Continued...) Steven Deller, University of Wisconsin Reports highlight good and bad of state economy By: DeForest Times-Tribune - April 13, 2022 “While safeguards have been put in place to prevent a repeat collapse of secondary financial markets, the potential economic pain to homeowners if history repeats itself could be significant,” wrote Steven Deller, a professor in UW-Madison’s Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics. (Continued...) Jayson Lusk, Purdue University Policy opinions revealed in Consumer Food Insights Report By: WBIW - April 14, 2022 "The survey results show that income is a big driver of food preferences and buying behavior,” said Jayson Lusk, Head and Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics at Purdue, who leads the center. “Lower-income consumers spend a larger share of their income on food, place greater weight on food affordability, are more likely to choose generic over branded products, and are overall less happy with their diets than higher-income consumers. As a result, policies that increase the price of food have a disproportionate impact of lower-income households.” (Continued...) Chad Hart, Iowa State University 2022 outlook: Ag economy running strong, but challenges ahead By: The Country Today - April 11, 2022 “I’m happy with the highs right now, but in the second half of 2022, I expect it’ll be a bumpy ride,” said Chad Hart, an Iowa State University professor and agricultural economist. “I really like the first half of 2022. What I don’t like is the potential in the second half of 2022, because I know as quickly as prices go up, you can work your way down even more quickly.” (Continued...) Stephan Geotz, Pennsylvania State University Using tweets emotions to predict real-time food insufficiency By: Terra Daily - April 12, 2022 The sentiments and emotions expressed in tweets on Twitter can be used in real time to assess where supply chain disruptions due to a pandemic, war or natural disaster may lead to food shortages, according to researchers at Penn State and the Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar. They found that food security-related tweets that expressed anger, disgust or fear were strongly correlated with actual food insufficiency in certain U.S. states early in the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings can potentially be used to develop a low-cost early warning system for identifying where food-security interventions are most needed, according to the researchers. (Continued...) |
