Policy analysis is a dynamic process of discovery rather than a
passive exercise of memorizing facts and conclusions. This text
provides opportunities to "practice the craft" of policy analysis
by engaging the reader in realistic case studies and
problem-solving scenarios that require the selection and use of
applicable investigative techniques. US Agricultural and Food
Policies will assist undergraduate students to learn how policy
choices impact the overall performance of agricultural and food
markets. It encourages students to systematically investigate
scenarios with appropriate positive and normative tools. The book
emphasizes the importance of employing critical thinking skills to
address the complexities associated with the design and
implementation of twenty-first-century agricultural and food
policies. Students are asked to suspend their personal opinions and
emotions, and instead apply research methods that require the
careful consideration of both facts and values. The opportunities
to build these investigative skills are abundant when we consider
the diversity of modern agricultural and food policy concerns.
Featuring case studies and critical thinking exercises throughout
and supported by a Companion Website with slides, a test bank,
glossary, and web/video links, this is the ideal textbook for any
agricultural policy class.
