识别了1995年农业法案讨论中的关键问题和可选方案,旨在帮助政策制定者平衡农业竞争力、环境保护和农村社区发展。
A viable agricultural policy should adapt to any changes occurring within the agricultural sector. With the growing focus on environmentally friendly agriculture, increased role for markets by reducing the influence of farm programs, agricultural-related global climate change, and budgetary pressures, the 1995 Farm Bill can lead the reorienting of farm policies toward achieving these goals and thus preserve the leadership role of the U.S. agricultural sector. The 1995 Farm Bill should enable farmers to retain their competitive edge in the increasingly free global market and also should protect the environment and rural communities. This paper identified key issues and the available options for the upcoming Farm Bill discussions.
