Abstract: New food and agricultural legislation became effective on September 29, 1977. The provisions of the bill may be used to help establish a research agenda for policy analysts. This article highlights what appear to be the most important research i5l:ues. Specifically discussed are the payment limitation, economic and natural dis· aster risk protection, the flexible loan level and international grain trading, the current plantings concept and production control, grain reserves, and domestic and foreign food assistance.
