AGRICULTURAL CHOICES IN THE WAR ON DRUGS: Pay or Play?

Dean G. Fairchild

Choices: The Magazine of Food, Farm, and Resource Issues, 1992, vol. 07, issue 3, 3

Abstract: Illegal drugs have enormous significance for world trade, consumer safety, and the social and natural environment. Thus, drug policy is one of the principal policy choices society faces as the new century approaches. Numerous skirmishes in the War on Drugs are being fought on an agricultural battlefield. But the combat strategies for these skirmishes lack tactical support from the scientific agricultural establishment even though agriculture's unique perspective could contribute new weapons and maneuvers with which the war could be pursued.
