Economic Impact of Energy on Food Production
This study is concerned with the evaluation of the effect energy prices and availability have on food production. For a predicted price and availability of variable inputs, the study optimally allocates these inputs to maximize the growers' profits and simulates the effect of this allocation on food prices, demand, and energy consumption. The study investigates possible future energy situations and their effect as well as investigating alternate methods and policies for food production in an energy and food conscious world
