Download or read book The Role of State Government in Agriculture written by Enrique Ospina and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conference participants examined how other states are preparing their farmers and rural communities to survive in the present "new world order," and considered whether Arkansas, one of only three states without a central agricultural agency, has the tools to forge strategies for the 1990's. "The Role of State Government in Agriculture" by R. O. Gunderson and E. Ospina describes the centralized agricultural organizations in 42 states and compares agency structure, policies, and programmatic areas. "The Role of State Government in Arkansas Agriculture" by the same authors indicates that although agriculture accounts for 30% of Arkansas's industrial base, responsibilities for agricultural development lie with many uncoordinated agencies that lack the mechanism to provide statewide planning. "The Changing Role of State Government in Rural Development" by S. N. Smith identifies six state strategies for successful rural development. "State Strategies for Promoting Agricultural Exports" by M. G. Popovich reports the results of telephone interviews with state program directors and managers about strategies for farm-product export expansion and focuses on notably innovative systems in Oregon, Texas, and California. "The Role of State Government Agencies in Farm Finance" by F. C. White evaluates 13 potential state farm-finance programs. "State-Level Agricultural Policy in Minnesota: Adjusting to Change in the 1980s" by C. F. Runge concerns the policies of a state with innovative agricultural initiatives and discusses Minnesota's interest buy-down program for financially distressed farmers. Each paper contains a selected bibliography. (SV)

Download or read book Food Policy in the United States written by Parke Wilde and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a broad introduction to food policies in the United States. Real-world controversies and debates motivate the book's attention to economic principles, policy analysis, nutrition science and contemporary data sources. It assumes that the reader's concern is not just the economic interests of farmers, but also includes nutrition, sustainable agriculture, the environment and food security. The book's goal is to make US food policy more comprehensible to those inside and outside the agri-food sector whose interests and aspirations have been ignored. The chapters cover US agriculture, food production and the environment, international agricultural trade, food and beverage manufacturing, food retail and restaurants, food safety, dietary guidance, food labeling, advertising and federal food assistance programs for the poor. The author is an agricultural economist with many years of experience in the non-profit advocacy sector, the US Department of Agriculture and as a professor at Tufts University. The author's well-known blog on US food policy provides a forum for discussion and debate of the issues set out in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Billion Dollars a Day “This text provides a good narrative on the economics of government intervention, the structure of the world food system and history of the WTO, and the provision of farm subsidies by developed economies, with a special focus on the U.S. and EU.” P. Lynn Kennedy, Louisiana State University “This extremely well-researched and documented book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact (both intentional and unintentional) that developed nations’ agricultural policies can have on underdeveloped agricultural-based nations.” Jay E. Noel, Cal Poly State University “This text’s discussion and explanation of subsidies is well developed in a historical and international context that is not found elsewhere.” Conrad Lyford, Texas Tech University “Peterson has done a nice job of taking complicated issues and explaining them in a manner that is understandable for students with limited background in policy, development, and trade. This well-written text brings both a U.S. and a world perspective to the timely and important topics of government farm policy and food prices.” Rick Whitacre, Illinois State University Why do Europe, the United States, and some key Asian countries spend, in aggregate, a billion dollars a day on various agricultural price supports, when much of this money ends up in the hands of large agribusiness? In a lively, non-technical, and up-to-date account, this book addresses the core questions that surround the issues of agricultural subsidies. Peterson provides a detailed examination of subsidy histories and the current policies of the United States, various European countries, Australia and New Zealand, and Korea and Japan. Also included is a discussion of how these policies affect developing countries – examining, in particular, their impact on farmers in low-income countries.
