The development of specialty agriculture plays a vital role in unlocking rural potential. However, the impact of policy-driven agricultural industrial cultivation on rural innovation has not been systematically examined. Using panel data from 1,805 Chinese counties between 2014 and 2021, this study treats the designation of China’s Agricultural Product Advantage Zones as a quasi-natural experiment and employs a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) approach to empirically examine the impact of specialty agricultural industries on rural innovation. The results indicate that the development of specialty agricultural industries can significantly promote rural innovation. Further analysis confirms that specialty agricultural industries stimulate regional innovation elements by increasing government expenditure on science and education, expanding the scale of innovative entities, and improving the level of digital infrastructure—all of which contribute to enhanced rural innovation outcomes. Moreover, the development of digital inclusive finance further amplifies their innovation-enhancing effects. This study offers practical insights into how policy-driven specialty agricultural industries can stimulate innovation vitality, and provides a reference development pathway for other developing countries with agricultural-terroir advantages.

发展特色农业是释放农村潜力的重要途径。然而，政策驱动的农业产业化培育对农村创新的影响尚未得到系统研究。本研究利用2014 - 2021年中国1805个县域的面板数据，将中国农产品优势区划定作为准自然实验，采用多期差异中差异（DID）方法实证检验特色农业产业对农村创新的影响。研究结果表明，特色农业产业的发展对农村创新具有显著的促进作用。进一步分析证实，特色农业产业通过增加政府科教投入、扩大创新主体规模、提高数字基础设施水平等方式刺激区域创新要素，从而提升农村创新成果。此外，数字普惠金融的发展进一步放大了其创新促进作用。本研究为政策驱动的特色农业产业如何激发创新活力提供了实践见解，并为其他具有农业风土优势的发展中国家提供了可借鉴的发展路径。

Recent global events, including COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, have brought to light vulnerabilities in global food supply chains. As a result, domestic food security in crisis situations is increasingly a topic of concern even in high-income countries. However, to date, there is limited literature to inform crisis response policy for food security in high-income countries. At the same time, related strands of literature from other crisis and country contexts offer relevant policy conclusions to inform the evidence base and identify areas for future research. This article expands the scope of analysis to review five related bodies of work, with the major aim of identifying findings relevant for food security policy in high-income countries in crises. First, we consider analysis related to food security policy in general crises contexts from the 1) disaster risk management in food and agriculture and 2) food and agricultural supply chain resilience literatures. Then, we turn to country context-specific findings, reviewing 3) food security policy in crisis situations in low- and middle-income countries, 4) food security policy outside of crisis in high-income countries, and finishing with the major focus of our review on nascent literature related to 5) food security policy in crisis situations in high-income countries. The review concludes by highlighting common themes relevant to food security policy and identifying research gaps to be addressed by future work.

最近的全球事件，包括COVID-19和俄罗斯-乌克兰战争，暴露了全球粮食供应链的脆弱性。因此，即使在高收入国家，危机局势下的国内粮食安全也日益成为人们关注的话题。然而，迄今为止，为高收入国家粮食安全危机应对政策提供信息的文献有限。与此同时，来自其他危机和国家背景的相关文献提供了相关的政策结论，为证据基础提供信息，并确定未来研究的领域。本文扩大了分析范围，审查了五个相关的工作机构，其主要目的是确定与危机中高收入国家粮食安全政策相关的研究结果。首先，我们从1)粮食和农业灾害风险管理和2)粮食和农业供应链弹性文献中考虑与一般危机背景下的粮食安全政策相关的分析。然后，我们转向国家具体情况的研究结果，回顾3)低收入和中等收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策，4)高收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策，最后重点回顾与5)高收入国家危机情况下的粮食安全政策相关的新兴文献。报告最后强调了与粮食安全政策相关的共同主题，并确定了未来工作需要解决的研究差距。

Many countries pursue food price stabilization through public grain reserves (also called buffer stocks or strategic grain reserves) or trade policy. Views of the economics profession on food price stabilization have evolved over time, however, with increased skepticism about economic planning and government market interventions since the mid-1980s. Nonetheless, recent spikes in international commodity prices during the Covid-19 pandemic and at the start of the war in Ukraine have stimulated another wave of interest in establishing or expanding strategic grain reserves and food-based safety net programs.

This article reviews the experience with food price stabilization, focusing on public grain reserves and trade policy. We summarize research on the theory of price stabilization and the challenges of stabilizing food prices in the face of volatile international prices, speculative attacks, imperfect information, and political interference. We also include empirical studies of how these programs function in seven countries. The review concludes with a summary of key lessons from country experiences and suggestions for further research.

许多国家通过公共粮食储备（也称为缓冲储备或战略粮食储备）或贸易政策来实现粮食价格稳定。然而，经济学专业人士对食品价格稳定的看法随着时间的推移而演变，自20世纪80年代中期以来，对经济计划和政府市场干预的怀疑日益增加。尽管如此，最近在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间和乌克兰战争开始时，国际商品价格飙升，再次激发了人们对建立或扩大战略粮食储备和粮食安全网计划的兴趣。本文回顾了粮食价格稳定的经验，重点是公共粮食储备和贸易政策。我们总结了价格稳定理论的研究，以及在国际价格波动、投机攻击、不完全信息和政治干预的情况下稳定食品价格的挑战。我们还包括对这些项目在七个国家如何运作的实证研究。审查最后总结了各国经验的主要教训和对进一步研究的建议。

With a growing global population and escalating concerns over food security, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology capable of optimizing agricultural processes and improving resource efficiency and security. This systematic review explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the whole agri-food supply chain, focusing on its implications for agricultural productivity and consumer behavior. Using the PRISMA guideline, a total of 64 articles were selected to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on artificial intelligence applications within this domain. Unlike previous reviews, this study leverages cluster analysis to categorize research findings into four main themes: 1) adoption of AI technologies in agriculture, 2) applications of AI in the intermediary management of the supply chain, 3) consumer perceptions and acceptance of AI-powered food innovations, and 4) the role of AI in precision nutrition and personalized health management. The review identifies key benefits of AI, including enhanced decision-making capabilities, improved supply chain transparency, and the facilitation of personalized nutrition strategies. It also highlights significant challenges such as technological accessibility, knowledge gaps among agricultural stakeholders, consumer skepticism, and notable methodological limitations in the existing research. The insights presented in this review contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the AI’s role in shaping the future of the agri-food supply chain and provide a foundation for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to develop strategies that maximize the societal and economic benefits of AI integration in the agri-food supply chain.

随着全球人口的增长和对粮食安全的担忧不断加剧，人工智能（AI）已经成为一种能够优化农业流程、提高资源效率和安全性的变革性技术。本系统综述探讨了人工智能在整个农业食品供应链中的变革潜力，重点关注其对农业生产力和消费者行为的影响。使用PRISMA指南，总共选择了64篇文章来全面概述该领域内人工智能应用的研究现状。与以往的研究不同，本研究利用聚类分析将研究成果分为四个主题：1)人工智能技术在农业中的应用，2)人工智能在供应链中介管理中的应用，3)消费者对人工智能驱动的食品创新的认知和接受程度，以及4)人工智能在精准营养和个性化健康管理中的作用。该评估确定了人工智能的主要好处，包括增强决策能力、提高供应链透明度和促进个性化营养战略。它还强调了重大挑战，如技术可及性、农业利益相关者之间的知识差距、消费者的怀疑态度以及现有研究中明显的方法局限性。本综述中提出的见解有助于更全面地了解人工智能在塑造农业食品供应链未来方面的作用，并为政策制定者、研究人员和行业利益相关者制定战略提供基础，以最大限度地提高人工智能在农业食品供应链中的社会和经济效益。

The local food retail environment—or the stores, restaurants and other vendors where households acquire the majority of their food—has long been of interest to researchers and policy makers who care about the connections between it and household outcomes like diet, health, and consumer welfare. The local food retail environment, its characteristics and household outcomes are jointly determined by household and firm decisions through complex economic interactions, making it often difficult to parse out causality and important to have clear, shared definitions. This article highlights, reviews, synthesizes, and discusses current research on the complex economic relationships between households and the local food retail environment. We dedicate extra attention to a discussion and review of the economics behind understanding the association between market concentration and food outcomes of interest. Moreover, we discuss the necessity of understanding these relationships for impactful research and improved policy making.

长期以来，研究人员和政策制定者一直对当地的食品零售环境——即家庭购买大部分食品的商店、餐馆和其他供应商——感兴趣，他们关心环境与家庭结果（如饮食、健康和消费者福利）之间的联系。当地食品零售环境、其特征和家庭结果是由家庭和企业通过复杂的经济互动共同决定的，因此往往很难分析出因果关系，因此有明确、共同的定义很重要。这篇文章强调、回顾、综合并讨论了目前关于家庭与当地食品零售环境之间复杂经济关系的研究。我们将特别关注对市场集中度与感兴趣的食品结果之间关联的理解背后的经济学的讨论和回顾。此外，我们还讨论了了解这些关系对有效研究和改进政策制定的必要性。

Accurate measurement of agricultural technology adoption is critical for evaluating the effectiveness of investments in agricultural research and development. While household surveys have long served as the primary tool for tracking varietal adoption, growing evidence reveals systematic mismatches between self-reported and DNA verified varietal identity. These mismatches arise from distinct local and scientific varietal nomenclatures, complex seed systems, and high varietal release rates. This review examines the emerging role of genotyping, particularly DNA fingerprinting, as a complementary method for varietal identification and adoption measurement. Drawing on a growing body of studies across crops and geographies, we assess how DNA fingerprinting alters adoption estimates, reveals patterns of varietal misclassification, and enhances our understanding of seed system performance. We identify critical design considerations for implementing DNA fingerprinting at scale, including sampling strategies, reference library construction, and integration with standard household surveys. The review also highlights methodological innovations to reduce DNA fingerprinting costs and explores how fingerprinting can inform monitoring, evaluation, and scaling of agricultural innovations. Finally, we outline key research and policy priorities to mainstream DNA fingerprinting into national agricultural systems and to support more evidence-based, accountable, and equitable food policy.

准确衡量农业技术采用情况对于评估农业研发投资的有效性至关重要。虽然家庭调查长期以来一直是追踪品种采用情况的主要工具，但越来越多的证据表明，自我报告的品种身份与DNA验证的品种身份之间存在系统性的不匹配。这些不匹配是由不同的地方和科学的品种命名、复杂的种子系统和高品种释放率引起的。这篇综述探讨了基因分型，特别是DNA指纹，作为品种鉴定和采用率测量的补充方法的新作用。利用越来越多的跨作物和地域的研究，我们评估了DNA指纹如何改变采用率估计，揭示了品种错误分类的模式，并增强了我们对种子系统性能的理解。我们确定了大规模实施DNA指纹识别的关键设计考虑因素，包括采样策略、参考图书馆建设以及与标准家庭调查的整合。该综述还强调了降低DNA指纹识别成本的方法创新，并探讨了指纹识别如何为农业创新的监测、评估和规模化提供信息。最后，我们概述了将DNA指纹技术纳入国家农业系统主流的关键研究和政策重点，并支持更以证据为基础、更负责任和更公平的粮食政策。
