Reflections on the Global Food Crisis: how did it happen? how has it hurt? and how can we prevent the next one? (2010, background): “Indeed, it was actually its recent experience with wheat shortages that prompted the Indian government to restrict non-Basmati rice exports in November 2007, as well as a surge in demand for Indian rice exports, possibly because of substitution effects from the ensuing crisis in international wheat ”
Hegemonic transitions and global shifts in social metabolism: Implications for resource-rich countries. Introduction to the special section (2012, background): “These two extreme events are framed by what seems to be a shift from a lower to a higher price regime for natural resources, including food (Headey, 2011).”
Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts (2019, background): “Trade shocks, together with other non-traderelated factors (e.g. crop failures due to droughts or pests), are likely to trigger food price spikes (Headey 2011), which in turn may cause food shortages (Bren d’Amour et al 2016) and socio-political instability, e.g. (Lagi et al 2011).”
Teleconnected food supply shocks (2016, background): “Generally, besides natural harvest variability, sudden trade restrictions like export bans are considered to be an important factor explaining the price spikes in 2007/08 and 2010, in particular for rice in 2008 (Abbott 2012, Headey 2011) and wheat (Fellmann et al 2014).”
Rethinking Agricultural Trade Relationships in an Era of Globalization (2015, background): “Concentrated trade relationships could also raise importer susceptibility to price spikes if crop production is disrupted or if governments impose export restrictions following droughts (Headey 2011, Fader et al. 2013).”
Drivers and triggers of international food price spikes and volatility (2014, background): “A host of authors (Yang et al. 2008; Headey 2011; Martin and Anderson 2012) have shown that a sequence of export restrictions and bans implemented by countries such as India, Thailand, China, and Russia caused panics in international markets and exacerbated price increases.”
Sustainable food production: constraints, challenges and choices by 2050 (2015, background): “Still, the fact that about one quarter of all food is traded suggest that global food security can be threatened not only by regional climate extremes (drought, flood, frost) but also by price volatility and changes in the food market (Headley 2010; D’Odorico et al. 2014).”
