The rise of flex crops and commodities: implications for research (2016, background): “Whereas agriculture has always been risky, the dangers have been accentuated by the environmental uncertainty associated with climate change (Ribot 2014) and volatile commodity markets (Clapp 2009; Ghosh 2010).”
Food and finance: the financial transformation of agro-food supply chains (2014, methodology): “…have come to play a more prominent role, while CIFs – which tend to take a ‘long’ position by rolling over commodity futures contracts prior to their expiration and reinvesting those proceeds in new contracts – have seen their share of total investments drop to 45 percent (Ghosh 2010, Spratt 2013).”
