A combination of surplus production capacity, severe food and energy price shocks, competition from fuel-from-grain crops, and consumer unrest suggest that it is time to reexamine agricultural policy. A three-way pull between domestic and foreign food markets and domestic energy markets requires a more active public policy than abdicating in favor of market forces. The US must consider the issue of its obligation to foreign food markets after years of uninterrupted surpluses, for example, as well as its humanitarian and political commitments to supply food. The US needs to reassess bilateral trade agreements to include provisions for years when there is no food surplus. 11 references, 7 figures. (DCK)
