This new edition offers a timely update to the leading textbook
dedicated to all aspects of U.S. food policy. The update accounts
for experience with policy changes in the 2014 Farm Bill and
prospects for the next Farm Bill, the publication of the 2015-2020
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the removal of Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status for trans fats, the collapse of
the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty, stalled child nutrition
reauthorization legislation, reforms in food-labeling policy, the
consequences of the 2016 presidential election and many other
developments. The second edition offers greater attention both to
food justice issues and to economic methods, including extensive
economics appendices in a new online Companion Website. As with the
first edition, real-world controversies and debates motivate the
book's attention to economic principles, policy analysis, nutrition
science and contemporary data sources. The book assumes that the
reader's concern is not just the economic interests of farmers and
food producers but also includes nutrition, sustainable
agriculture, food justice, the environment and food security. The
goal is to make U.S. food policy more comprehensible to those
inside and outside the agri-food sector whose interests and
aspirations have been ignored. The chapters cover U.S. agriculture,
food production and the environment, international agricultural
trade, food and beverage manufacturing, food retail and
restaurants, food safety, dietary guidance, food labeling,
advertising and federal food assistance programs for the poor. The
author is an agricultural economist with many years of experience
in the nonprofit advocacy sector, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and as a professor at Tufts University. The author's
blog on U.S. food policy provides a forum for discussion and debate
of the issues set out in the book.
