The World

In the 1980s, few agricultural economists, particularly from the Southern Region, published works on international trade or the globalization of the world economy. The initiation of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1986 stimulated such writings as the Southern Agriculture in a World Economy series by the Southern Region Extension International Trade Task Force (Rosson et al.). An even smaller number of agricultural economists were writing on policy linkages between trade and the environment. An early effort to remedy this situation was the Workshop on Linkages between Natural Resources and International Trade in Agricultural Commodities (Sutton).

The Relationship

Trade is an engine of economic growth, employment and business innovation. It can be a powerful lever to promote sustainable development, for the benefit of both women and men, in harmony with nature and the environment. All actors that are directly or indirectly involved in international trade have the responsibility to guarantee a “good trade”. This article clarifies the relationship between trade and the environment along global supply chains as key elements for sustainable development. Drawing on personal experience, we address several global topics and highlight some very promising initiatives coming from the business world.
