Following a degree in Life Sciences with a specialisation in Physics, Chemistry and Maths, Emma Skalski joined the Institut Agro, Rennes campus, where she specialised in agricultural economics in her 2nd and 3rd years.
After obtaining her diploma as an engineer in agro-economics, she began a thesis in agricultural economics at the University of Rennes, looking at changes in the price of agricultural inputs and the determinants and stakes for global food security in a context of climatic hazards.
The concurrent surge in fuel, food, and fertilizer prices underscores the broad vulnerability of agrifood system in an interconnected global economy, where supply chain disruptions can propagate rapidly. It also highlights the urgent need for a deeper understanding of the short-and long-term drivers of the price of the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer: urea. To address this knowledge gap, our study employs a Vector Error Correction Model using global monthly data from 1985 to 2023.
