About the Press
At The AgEcon Frontiers (TAEF), we are dedicated to producing high-quality, policy-relevant research that tackles the most pressing challenges facing agriculture, food systems, and rural economies—both today and in the future. Our work goes beyond academic theory; it is designed to inform, influence, and inspire real-world policies that shape livelihoods, strengthen food security, and drive sustainable economic development.
We believe that effective policymaking must be grounded in evidence-based insights. That is why our publications combine rigorous research with practical relevance, integrating diverse perspectives from economics, social sciences, environmental studies, and public policy. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that our outputs address the complex, interconnected realities of global agriculture and rural transformation.
Our team brings together researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts united by a shared commitment to innovation, equity, and inclusivity. Through collaborative inquiry, we explore critical themes such as climate-smart agriculture, rural finance, market systems, food and nutrition security, and the socio-economic dimensions of agricultural change.
A defining feature of AgEcon Frontiers is our dual commitment to open and closed access knowledge sharing. We believe that knowledge should be accessible to all who seek to learn and apply it. Accordingly, our Open Access publications are freely available to download, while Closed Access editions are offered at affordable prices to ensure wider reach and sustainability. This inclusive model promotes the democratization of knowledge, fosters informed dialogue, and builds a stronger bridge between science and policy.
By engaging with The AgEcon Frontiers (TAEF), you become part of a growing network of scholars, policymakers, and development professionals dedicated to advancing transformative solutions for a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future in agriculture and rural development.
