Miscellaneous Food Policy Links: GMOs, Lobster, and Conflict

Last updated on August 25, 2013

  1. Amy Harmon had a great article on golden rice — and the paranoia surrounding GMOs — in last Sunday’s New York Times.
  2. If you’ve missed Harmon’s excellent piece on orange rust and the use of GMOs to combat crop diseases, you can find it here.
  3. In this New Yorker, James Surowiecki’s column was dedicated to the collapsing price of lobster… and to how restaurants have failed to adjust.
  4. Again on the topic of GMOs, Grist magazine had a good three-part series on the topic: parts 1, 2, and 3 (ht: Jayson Lusk).
  5. Tom Friedman discovers the food price–conflict nexus… two years too late (ht: Hal Brands).
  6. Economic Logic discusses my most recent working paper, the one with Nick Carnes on agricultural protection in the US (ht: Economic Logician).
