New Approaches to the Economics of Plant Health Summary

New Approaches to the Economics of Plant Health by Alfons G.J.M. Oude Lansink

The world trade of plants and plant products is gradually increasing in both quantity and variety. This book presents a number of recent scientific developments regarding the economic analysis of impacts that harmful organisms have on agriculture and the environment, and of measures to control these organisms. It also contains a number of new approaches that integrate economic and epidemiological modelling and economic approaches for measuring these impacts.
