Food protection: a research agenda
1979
Boehm, W.T.
Extract: The conflict embodied in the present policy setting has resulted in increased public scrutiny of regulatory actions whose purpose is to achieve private or social goals. Regulatory bodies, including those dealing with food and agriculture, are now required by presidential order to make decisions only after a thorough analysis of all the evidence, including comments from the public. The focus of the paper is on food protection issues, but theexperiences in that area provide a framework for additional research on other domestic food and agricultural issues. I will review briefly the policy setting, discuss the legal framework providing the broad guidelines for research in this area, and present a research agenda drawing from some recent work done in USDA.
