Agricultural and Food Policy

Agricultural and Food Policy by Penn, J.B.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780131718739.

Drawing on the authors’ background in education and policy development, Agricultural and Food Policy, Sixth Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of domestic and international policy setting, process, options and consequences. This book goes beyond the traditional discussion of farm programs, and gets readers thinking in broader terms, by considering the many forces–globalization, technology, food safety, environment–that influence policy change. Taking an unbiased approach, this edition includes more economic theory, a new chapter on government involvement, current policy issues, and a chapter devoted to the future of agricultural and food policy.
