Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is an appraisal of where US agricultural policy has been and where it should go in the future. In wide-ranging speculative essays, the contributors consider the full spectrum of agricultural activity and offer reasons for changing the policy agenda. Giving ethical and societal values equal weight to the economic concerns of production and consumption, their discussions point the way to a new formulation of agricultural research and policy goals.
