| Summary |
Agricultural Marketing and Consumer Behavior in a Changing World describes and interprets changes in the domain of agriculture and food. The contributors develop the theme of taking an interdisciplinary approach to coping with these changes, using concepts and methods developed in general marketing, which are adapted to apply to the particular characteristics of the food and agriculture sector. This book is published to honor the distinguished career of Professor Mathew T. G. Meulenberg from Wageningen Agricultural University, on the occasion of his retirement in September of 1996. As a scientist, a teacher, advisor to the agribusiness and the government, Professor Meulenberg has made an important contribution to the development of marketing, inside and outside the domain of agriculture |
