Food and finance: the financial transformation of agro-food supply chains (2014, background): “…causes of supply and demand curve shifts, namely, the neoliberal restructuring that has undermined agricultural autonomy in the global South and rendered the region dependent upon food imports that are controlled by a handful of transnational agro-food corporations (Bello 2009, Clapp 2009).”
Rising Food Prices, Food Price Volatility, and Social Unrest (2015, unknown): “…is desirable, however, since episodes of rising food prices are generally positively correlated with episodes of increased food price volatility, and food price volatility today can lead to decreased output – and so higher food prices – in the future (Clapp, 2009; Naylor and Falcon, 2010).”
The rise of flex crops and commodities: implications for research (2016, background): “As several scholars have documented, the recent spikes in – and subsequent volatility of – agricultural commodity prices cannot be explained by underlying market fundamentals (Clapp 2009, 2014; Gilbert 2010; Ghosh, Heintz, and Pollin 2012; Spratt 2013).”
