Agriculture, food, and health perspectives on a long relationship: understanding the links between agriculture and health
Lang, Tim - International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - 2006
"Agriculture produces food fundamental for human health. It therefore seems obvious that agriculture, food, and health are related! Agriculture affects whether people have enough food to eat, whether it is of sufficient nutritional value, and whether it is safe, all of which affect human health....

Choosing sensitive agricultural products in trade negotiations:
Jean, Sebastien; Laborde, David; Martin, Will - International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - 2008
"The formula approach used in many trade negotiations involves large formula cuts in high tariffs, with flexibilities that allow smaller cuts for selected products. Difficulties in evaluating the effects of these exceptions can create major problems. We use a political-economy welfare function...
