SELF‐SUFFICIENCY AND FOOD SECURITY IN THE UK AND EC PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
分析了英国和欧共体政治中认为高自给率能增强粮食安全的信念，批判性审视了粮食优先级、调整成本及农业与其他部门的联系，并讨论了西欧粮食安全政策的必要性及更合理政策的要素。
The political strength in the EC and UK of the belief that high levels of self‐sufficiency make food supplies more secure is demonstrated and explained. The relationship is examined analytically and critically, taking particular account of the priority of food, adjustment costs, and linkages between agriculture and other sectors. The need for a policy of food security in Western Europe is discussed in relation to military, crop and trade uncertainties. Finally, the elements of a more rational policy, including measures of storage, procurement and production independence, are outlined.
