Impacts
- • In the fall of 2014, collaborators within this project were awarded a $49,600 AFRI conference grant, which they used to organize and hold a conference on issues surrounding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreements and their relationship to genetically modified organism (GMO) issues. The research papers presented at the conference were also featured in a special issue of the Journal of Food and Industrial Organization.
- • Collaborators are also involved in publishing and co-editing books as well as organizing special issues of peer-reviewed journals that are relevant to the cornerstone of the S-1062 project. For example, project member Kwan Choi (Iowa State University) continues to be a lead editor of the book series Frontiers of Economics and Globalization. Project members Lynn Kennedy (LSU) and Andrew Schmitz (University of Florida) have served as co-editors of Volume 16 and 17 of the series that relate to food security, and project members Karen DeLong (University of Tennessee), Lynn Kennedy (Louisiana State University) and Andrew Schmitz (University of Florida) published a book chapter in Volume 17. More recently, Mary Marchant (Virginia Tech) was one of the organizers of a special issues of Choices that published five articles related to the escalating trade dispute between the U.S and China in 2018.
- • Collaborators have garnered over $500,000 in grants for work that relates to and multiplies the effect of the S-1062 project. Examples include a projects related to US-Brazil trade relations. Project members Luis Ribera and Flynn Adcock, both of Texas A&M, lead the project which is funded by Emerging Markets Program, FAS/USDA. It is a 2-year project to examine Brazil as a market for U.S. agricultural and food products and as a competitor for some in global markets. Project group members have taken five trips to Brazil to speak with various governmental, association, and private sector staff regarding market potential, productive capacity, infrastructure, policy, and outlook. Now in 2nd year of project during which the information gathered will be developed into a paper to address the objectives. Final results will begin dissemination in May 2018. Collaborators from this project are from FAS Brazil, AMS, and ERS.
- • In addition to published articles, participants disseminated their research at regular meetings of the International Agricultural Trade Research Consortium and trade-specific sessions at other professional meetings. White papers and policy briefings make the information more accessible to the public, at large. More recently, some participants have begun seeking new ways to inform policy makers and the interested public. Ian Sheldon (Ohio State University) has published articles on academically rigorous, though freely available, websites such as The Conversation. His recent article, “Why China’s Soybean Tariffs Matter”, was viewed over 18,000 times in less than two months.
