520    "The Economics of Food and Agricultural Markets is written
       for applied intermediate microeconomics courses. The book 
       showcases the power of economic principles to explain and 
       predict issues and current events in the food, 
       agricultural, agribusiness, international trade, and 
       natural resource sectors. The field of agricultural 
       economics is relevant, important and interesting. The 
       study of market structures, also called industrial 
       organization, provides powerful, timely, and useful tools 
       for any individual or group making personal choices, 
       business decisions, or public policies in food and 
       agriculture industries. Readers will benefit from a large 
       number of real-world examples and applications of the 
       economic concepts under discussion. The book introduces 
       economic principles in a succinct and reader-friendly 
       format, providing students and instructors with a clear, 
       up-to-date, and straightforward approach to learning how a
       market-based economy functions, and how to use simple 
       economic principles for improved decision making. The 
       principles are applied to timely, interesting, and 
       important real-world issues through words, graphs, and 
       simple algebra and calculus. This book is intended for 
       students who study agricultural economics, microeconomics,
       rural development and environmental policy. The goal of 
       the book is to encourage students to learn to "think like 
       an economist" through application of benefits and costs to
       every decision, idea, and strategic decision. This 
       objective is accomplished by including extended examples 
       that cover such topics as the analysis of consumer 
       decisions, supply and demand, and market efficiency; the 
       design of pricing strategies; advertising and marketing 
       decisions; and public policy analysis."--Open Textbook
