      abstract = {This book is a pivotal publication that seeks to improve  food security in the conditions of escalating protectionism  in global agricultural trade. The authors argue that global  trade systems have been increasingly distorted by emerging  trade tensions between major actors such as the US, China,  the EU, and Russia, as well as trade policies in many other  countries. In view of the most recent disruption of global  food supply chains due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the  book examines the effects of administrative restrictions,  tariff escalations, and other forms of protectionism on  food security. Over the decades, food security concerns  have been emerging, along with the growth of the world  population. More than two billion most impoverished people  in the world spent up to 70% of their disposable income on  food. In 2020, the running pandemic has unraveled  accumulated problems. As many countries rely on  agricultural imports, lockdowns and disrupted food  production and supply chains tremendously threaten food  security of those nations. Agricultural trade was already  slowing in 2019 before the virus struck, weighed down by  trade tensions, and decelerating economic growth. The  spread of the virus and strict quarantine measures trigger  economic decline that results in food prices rises and  volatilities. Due to the pandemic, nearly all regions will  suffer double-digit decline in trade volumes 2020. The  virus will be defeated, but the effects of the  protectionism outbreak would have a much longer-lasting  impact on agricultural production, international supply  chains, and food security worldwide. In this publication,  the authors probe into many of the choices that link  national, regional, and global policies extensively with  the provision of food security for all in the new era of  post-virus global trade. Since studying global agricultural  trade has a multinational application, its outcomes might  be shared with a broad international network of  stakeholders, including research institutions,  universities, and individual researches. The book is  appropriate for government officials, policymakers, and  businesses of many countries. Adaptation of research  outcomes and solutions to the situation in particular  countries and various collaboration formats will let to  increase the visibility of the publication and to elaborate  new practices and solutions in the sphere of establishing  sustainable food security.},
