The Time for Macroeconomics in Municipal Food Policy

Shellye Suttles

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2019, vol. 8, issue 4

Abstract: First paragraph: It’s interesting—I’ve never felt like so much of an outsider as being an agricultural economist working on municipal food policy. And I’m a black woman in the United States. Prior to being the food policy and program coordinator for the City of Indianapolis, I was a research economist who studied local food systems, alternative energy, and climate change. Now, as a food policy practitioner, I have found that relevant aspects of classical macroeconomic theory often go ignored in muni­cipal food policy, particularly the concept of economic change over time. . . .
