The Agriculture and Food Act of 1981: continued policy evolution
1983
Spitze, R.G.F.
Extract: The Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 set the United States policy course for the four years, 1982-85, in the areas of prices and income, trade, food aid, and research. It was clearly an evolution of past policy. This new legislation will affect the welfare of farmers, consumers, rural communities, trading partners, and will have budgetary transfer impacts. It also will be a subject of the teaching, extension, and research enterprise as implementation in turn sets the stage for the next cycle of policy development. The article deals with the setting for this new policy, forces shaping it, its provisions, and implications for research.
