This book is a collection of presentations and papers organized around four major topics. The first section covers the socio-economic climate likely to face the food industry and the country over the next decade, followed by a discussion in the second section of the changing nature of food and nutrition policies. The third section covers the outlook for technology and the associated impact of regulation - not only for food, but also for agricultural productivity and agricultural chemicals. The book ends with an examination of food and agricultural issues that will have a profound and continuing impact on US agricultural policy. The publication is the culmination of Hudson Institute's Food, Agriculture, and Society Research Program, the objectives of which were two-fold: (1) to focus on and provide alternative solutions to current and near-term food and agricultural policy issues which are likely to have a long-term effect on firms, the government, and the public; and (2) to increase public understanding of the economic and sociopolitical aspects of the food and agricultural sector.
