Reviews
“Written by top scholars in the field, EU Bioeconomy Economics and Policies comprehensively treats both traditional topics of agricultural policy analysis as well as new policies focusing on biofuels, bioeconomy or circular economy. For students of economics, policy makers, general public or experts in the area, the book provides an excellent overview of EU policies that will determine the future development of European agricultural and food sectors and their effects on rural development, public health, environmental quality or climate change. A great book covering globally relevant issues.” (Jan Pokrivcak, Professor of Agricultural and International Economics, Slovak University of Agriculture)
“The book helps to build a comprehensive understanding of the economics of EU agriculture and related policies extending the boundaries of the assessment to the EU bioeconomy. This is important as the new uses of biomass are more and more interconnected to the traditional agricultural value chains. Looking at each of them in insolation would be obsolete. The bioeconomy perspective allows to grasp the most interesting dynamics of the future EU agricultural sector.” (Claudio Soregaroli, Associate Professor of Agricultural and Food Economics, Catholic University)
