Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: Public agricultural policy in the United States has historically been concerned with (a) maintaining reasonable and stable farm incomes (b) increasing efficiency through research and education and (c) coping with the increasing agricultural output of a highly productive food and fiber sector. The policies which affect food supplies are numerous and complex. This paper is an attempt to provide a background on public agricultural, food, and research policies as they affect the capacity of the United States to meet its own and world food needs.
