Policy Matters: Scholarly and Practical Perspectives on Contemporary Problems

Nothing is more elemental or important than a society’s ability to feed itself.  Agricultural markets, however, are notoriously inefficient—and have demanded constant political intervention to manage production, support prices, and sustain the land. Our panel offers the latest thinking on sustainable agriculture practices and policies.

Session Chair
Fred Kirschenmann (Leopold Center, Iowa State University)
