Taking
Stock for the New Century
 Designed to take a longer term view of our Nation's agriculture
& food system and offer constructive ideas to help guide future
farm policy, this report examines the enormous changes faced
by today's food and farm system, as well as the lessons learned
from more than seven decades of food and farm policies.
The report offers a set of principles to guide policy
development for the future—addressing issues such as
trade, a farm safety net, system infrastructure, conservation
and environment, rural communities, nutrition and food assistance,
and program delivery systems.
