"The structure of Global Changes and the Challenges of Sustainably Feeding a Growing Planet makes it most suitable for an interdisciplinary master's level course that might be co-taught for students in agricultural economics, environmental sciences, agronomy, natural resources, nutrition, and other disciplines. ... The potential audience for this impressive book includes not only economists but a broad range of scientists. It should be required reading for anyone interested in long-run land use, food security, biofuels, and effects of climate change." (George W. Norton, American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 98 (5), October, 2016)
