Project Title: U.S. Agricultural Trade and Food Safety
Description: This project examined the intersection of U.S. policies on international trade, sustainable agriculture, and consumer health and safety. It was an opportunity to explore how U.S. farmers and ranchers meet the complex economic and environmental challenges of providing affordable, high quality, and safe food products for both domestic consumption and international export. The project addressed the political, social, environmental, and economic forces that influence U.S. agricultural trade policies and discussed how federal, regional and local programs for agricultural research, inspection, trade promotion and resource conservation help ensure agricultural competitiveness in the global marketplace.
