RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD POLICY
回顾了1985年《食品安全法案》出台前的背景，并分析了赤字削减、税改、贸易保护主义和农业信贷四项立法对农业部门的影响，认为该法案将推动美国农业复苏。
The paper reviews the events leading up to the 1985 Food Security Act. Attention is also drawn to four other legislative initiatives having a direct bearing on the farm sector. These are: deficit reduction; tax reform; trade protectionism; and agricultural credit. The case against mandatory supply controls is reviewed and reasons are given for believing the 1985 bill will put U.S. agriculture back on the road to prosperity.
