Stanford China expert supports China's purchase of Smithfield Foods
FSE, FSI Stanford in the news: Los Angeles Times on May 29, 2013Chinese agricultural policy expert Scott Rozelle sees China's purchase of the world's largest pork producer, Smithfield Foods, as a sign of a maturing agriculture industry in China. Chinese companies want more control over food, and we're going to see a lot more deals like this, he said. The U.S. has for years struggled to attract foreign investment in agriculture. A big investment such as this will help protect American jobs and also introduce Chinese companies to better technology and food safety practices.

Finding common threads in global water crises
FSE, FSI Stanford NewsWhat does drought in Kansas have to do with underutilized groundwater in sub-Saharan Africa? Potentially a lot, according to a new study by researchers with the Global Freshwater Initiative (GFI), a program of the Stanford Woods Institute. The study, co-authored by FSE senior fellow Scott Rozelle, is the first to systematically analyze and classify water crises around the world. It finds that water systems have a limited set of patterns or "syndromes" which can be classified into one of four categories: unsustainability, vulnerability, chronic scarcity or adaptation. These syndromes have their root causes in just a few factors that influence demand, supply, infrastructure and governance - a finding that challenges long-held views that freshwater issues require highly individualized solutions.
