Abstract

Abstract Millions of people worldwide live in extreme poverty, which has an adverse effect on global food security. Research shows that growth in the agricultural labor sector has twice the impact on poverty compared to growth in other labor sectors. To that end, we examine some of the enabling factors of private sector investment to increase food security and reduce poverty: innovative output, intellectual property rights innovation, gender-sensitive land tenure, creation of new businesses, openness to trade, government institutional flexibility, access to credit, inclusion of new sectors, income diversification, public-private partnerships, infrastructure improvements, payments for eco-system services, and climate-smart innovation. Developing policies that improve food security will help to reduce poverty.

为私营部门投资创造有利环境:对粮食安全和贫困的影响

摘要全世界数百万人生活在极端贫困中，这对全球粮食安全产生了不利影响。研究表明，农业劳动力部门的增长对贫困的影响是其他劳动力部门增长的两倍。为此，我们审查了私营部门投资增加粮食安全和减少贫困的一些有利因素：创新产出、知识产权创新、对性别问题敏感的土地保有权、创建新企业、贸易开放、政府机构灵活性、获得信贷、纳入新部门、收入多样化、公私伙伴关系、，基础设施改善、生态系统服务支付和气候智能创新。制定改善粮食安全的政策将有助于减少贫困。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
