In particular, the book covers policy and institutional developments of the agricultural sector in Eurasia with a special focus on the horizontal issues relevant to the current and future potential growth of the wheat production, such as land policy, credit and finance, privatization, farm restructuring, and environmental challenges. Global food security is a major societal concern in the light of an increasing population, which is projected to grow from around 7 billion today to almost 10 billion in 2050. Two most likely ways to achieve the much needed food production growth are: expansion of land cultivation or increase in crop yields and total factor productivity. The only region with a significant amount of uncultivated arable land that is at the same time experiencing rising agricultural productivity is the ?Eurasian wheat belt,? comprising of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and the Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kirgizstan). This makes the region a potential hotspot for driving the future growth of global agriculture. Such prospects require a detailed investigation of Eurasia?s future perspectives in terms of food production (with a focus on wheat) and its potential contribution to regional and global food security. 606 $aAgricultural economics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aDevelopment Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913020 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 615 0$aAgricultural economics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aRegional/Spatial Science. 676 $a330 702 $aGomez y Paloma$b Sergio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMary$b Sébastien$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLangrell$b Stephen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCiaian$b Pavel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136624303321 996 $aThe Eurasian Wheat Belt and Food Security$92214296 997 $aUNINA
