The history of agricultural trade stretches back more than ten millennia, but it became more inter‐continental from the 17th century and much denser in the 19th century following the repeal of Britain's protective Corn Laws in 1846 and major declines in international trade costs. Trade was chaotic in the period bookended by the two world wars, but trade policy anarchy gave way to greater certainty after the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was signed in 1947. This paper seeks to identify the forces that shaped that history, and to re‐examine the case for continued openness to trade in farm and processed food products. It does so in the wake of uneven economic growth and structural transformation and as agri‐food systems respond to increased market and policy uncertainties this century—and to growing pressures for agricultural production to become more sustainable and for its food outputs to be safer and more nutritious. The paper points to better policy options than trade measures for achieving most national objectives—options that can simultaneously benefit the rest of the world. Areas for further economic research are noted before the paper concludes.

“…Moreover, emotional background changes also require corresponding changes in the diet. The types of nutrition in hot and cold climates also differ significantly, and the differences in the nutrition of North and South peoples cannot be reduced down to economic factors only [28]. Finally, to increase life expectancy, low-calorie diets are recommended.…”

This article presents a trophological approach to the development of nutrition. The evolution of human views on nutrition from antiquity to the present time, including issues of perfect nutrition, is considered. The main concepts of nutrition theories are formulated. The systematized reasoning is useful for new rationale for solutions of challenges related to optimization of nutrition. Within the scope of the development of nutrition theories, the problem of perfect food plays a special role. The article presents a modern vision of perfect nutrition. The designing of trophological nutrition algorithm is based on scientific approaches that both to justify the correct consumption of food products, and also define the most reasonable way of their production, storage, distribution and disposal of food waste. The implementation of the trophological approach in theories of nutrition is also reflected in the concept of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of healthy nutrition among the population. This topic is also relevant in light of the sharp increase of food allergies among the various groups of population, because people who suffer from food allergies must follow a special diet to prevent the risk of allergic reactions, which can be managed using a nutritional approach.

“…In the wake of the 2007–2008 commodity price boom, nearly three‐quarters of emerging market and developing economies took policy actions in an attempt to moderate the impact (World Bank Group, 2009). In response to higher global food prices, net food‐importing countries typically intervene by lowering import tariffs and taxes, while net food‐exporting countries impose export restrictions (Anderson, 2022; World Bank Group, 2019). Martin and Anderson (2012) find that changes in border protection rates during 2005–2008 can explain 30 per cent of the observed change in the international wheat price, and 45% of the observed change in the price of rice—a key contributing factor of the global rice crisis of 2008.…”

“…Evidence suggests that sanctions and embargoes, or any policy interventions that lead to market disruptions, threaten food security of the most vulnerable households (Anderson, 2022), primarily through higher prices for goods that were previously imported. Hinz and Monastyrenko (2022) find that the price of embargoed goods in Russia rose by between 8 and 15 per cent in the short run.…”

The war in the breadbasket of Europe, which spawned at the heels of the once‐in‐a‐lifetime pandemic, sent major cereal prices spiralling upward. The unprecedented sequence of events leading to and including the war has tested the resilience of global commodity markets and the craftsmanship of policymakers. While the circumstances may differ, the disruption of global commodity markets is not exactly uncharted territory, with many examples and experiences from near and distant history. By showcasing anecdotal and empirical evidence from the past, this study puts the current crisis and its consequences in perspective and offers an outlook with a specific focus on low‐ and middle‐income countries.
