*Edited by Orhan Özçatalbaş*

As countries develop economically, the relative importance of agriculture decreases. However, this does not mean that the importance of agriculture has decreased overall. Agriculture has been of vital importance for humanity in every period and will remain important from now on. Agricultural economics is a branch of science that examines the allocation, distribution, and use of resources and goods produced in agriculture. Events in recent years, including climate change, environmental pollution, global warming, and the COVID-19 pandemic, have clearly demonstrated the importance of food safety and security. This book discusses the theory and practice of sustainable agriculture as well as the importance of agricultural economics and agri-food business in combating the effects of threats such as climate change and meeting the world's food demand.
