Social Networks, Social Media and the Economics of Food
Registration Open
2014 AAEA/EAAE/CAES Joint Symposium
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for presenting studies on the economics of food production and choice in a world in which social media and social networks have assumed a prominent role. The objective is to promote a better understanding of peer group influence on food consumption, and how social media and social networking affect food production and food choice decisions.

Understanding social media and social learning will help inform policies that use social concepts to control these, and other, food-related problems. Read More>>
