Dear friends and colleagues,

We're extremely excited to share with you the pre-release of our new book *THE
TROPICAL OIL CROP REVOLUTION*
<http://stanford.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f72623a610e4d533b58268cca&id=4ff36715fe&e=f8d38290da>,
authored
by Derek Byerlee, Walter P. Falcon, and Rosamond L. Naylor.

<http://stanford.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f72623a610e4d533b58268cca&id=d3223e7e5f&e=f8d38290da>The
global production of soybeans and palm oil has increased enormously in the
tropics over the last two decades. As we write in the introduction:

*“For the past 25 years, oil crops have been by far the most dynamic crops
in world agricultural growth, and their impact on land use and global trade
has been profound, yet they have received little attention from
agricultural economists. The vast literature on the social and
environmental impacts associated with the expansion of tropical oil crops
rarely relates those impacts to the broader market drivers.”*

In *THE TROPICAL OIL CROP REVOLUTION*
<http://stanford.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f72623a610e4d533b58268cca&id=633e85aa85&e=f8d38290da>,
 we examine the world’s most dynamic agricultural sector in recent decades.
The planting of these crops is controversial because they are often sown on
formerly forested or savanna lands, rely on large farmers and agribusiness
rather than smallholders for their development, and largely supply export
markets. Because these crops are used for food, cooking, animal feed, and
biofuels, they have entered the agriculture, food, and energy chains of
many countries, linking consumers across the world to distant producers in
a handful of exporting countries. Based on our in-depth research, this book
is an examination of the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the
oil crop revolution in the tropics. In looking to the future, we conclude
that the industry may be entering a new and more sustainable growth
trajectory.

 We hope you enjoy reading *THE TROPICAL OIL CROP REVOLUTION*
