Abstract: Excerpts from the report: During the past 20 years, the changes in U.S. agriculture have been profound, yet more will occur over the next 20. Where is the industry headed? What will the food system look like? What are the implications for the transportation industry that serves agriculture? Is current transportation policy in harmony with the future? While the future cannot be accurately foretold, this paper will provide insights into the changes of the past 20 years and the factors that have driven them. It will identify how those drivers may evolve and extrapolate, with analysis and judgement, the important impacts projected to 2020. The goal of the project is to provide a 2020 baseline from which the transportation industry, policymakers, and other analysts can discuss key findings and implications.
