"Asian Agriculture and Development in a Dynamic and Volatile Landscape of Demands, Peoples, and Risks"

Advisory

Due to the threats of Typhoon Pepito (international name: Man-yi) to Luzon, Philippines, we regrettably postponed the AJAD 20th Anniversary Ceremony originally scheduled for 18 November 2024.

We will announce when a new date for the event has been set.

AJAD 20th Anniversary Issue
(October 2024)

The Asian Journal of Agricultural Development (AJAD) 20th Anniversary Issue, with the theme "Asian Agriculture and Development in a Dynamic and Volatile Landscape of Demands, Peoples, and Risks," features articles from three senior members of our Editorial Board, namely C. Peter Timmer, James Roumasset, and David Dawe, who take both a retrospective and forward-looking view at agriculture in Asia. Five more papers from other prominent experts complete this special AJAD issue, with which we hope to provide our readers and subscribers an engaging variety of relevant, useful, and even practical knowledge to students, educators, researchers, practitioners, advocates, and policymakers alike.
