At a recent House hearing, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that USDA would terminate the Farmers to Family Food Box program.

The past four years have been chaotic for US agriculture.

Agriculture generates roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, without major mitigation efforts, agricultural emissions are likely to reach levels that would make meeting global climate targets practically unachievable.

Agricultural policy issues play an outsized role in the race for the presidency if only because the primary season begins in Iowa, where corn is king, and other rural states such as New Hampshire and South Carolina.

The global burden of malnutrition is unacceptably high. Animal-source foods are important components of diverse diets and provide high-quality proteins and other essential nutrients that promote optimal growth and development.

This article develops an economic model to analyze how the risk of water shortages affects farmers’ land irrigation decision and how the priority-based water sharing arrangement redistributes such a risk among farms with different water rights pri

This book addresses the thorny and fascinating question of how food and voucher programs, despite theory and evidence generally favoring cash, remain relevant, have evolved, and, in most circumstances, have improved over time.

This paper explores the impacts of a water right's allocative priority—as an indicator of farmers' risk-bearing ability—on land irrigation under water supply uncertainty.
