Understanding the cycle of poverty, vulnerability and food insecurity in the Alberta context
Sven Anders is an agricultural economist with research and teaching interests in the economics of food systems, supply chains and agri-food trade. His research has studied consumer preferences and firm behavior in the context of food quality and safety, product differentiation and competition in grocery retailing and the impacts of food safety standards in international agri-food marketing and trade. Extensive travels and collaborative work with colleagues around the world fuel his curiosity about the many and important roles agriculture, food, energy and climate change play in today’s world.
