Nobel Conference 2025 - C. Ford Runge

"The Economics of Processed Commodity Sugar: Molecules to Markets to Metabolism" Ford Runge Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Applied Economics and Law, University of Minnesota Cane sugar is an ancient commodity but its global reach and impact are only a few centuries old. This impact has been been profound and complex. Its supply has propelled forces of colonization, slavery and commercial trade in complementary goods such as tea, coffee and cocoa. Its cultivation has led to ecological and social destruction and protectionist regimes to subsidize and protect domestic markets. It has encouraged the conversion of beets and maize to produce other sugars. The demand for sugar sweeteners has been a major force in the global spread of obesity and diabetes.
