U.S. Agricultural Policy Review, 2023

Excerpt:  “This report is the 2023 edition of the annual U.S. Agricultural Policy Review series documenting developments in U.S. Federal policies related to production agriculture, agrofood value chains, and food and nutrition assistance. … Developments specifically in the production agriculture domain were focused on disaster assistance, continuing to address supply chain challenges that emerged during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, improving and streamlining program delivery, and agricultural climate mitigation. Developments related to agrofood value chains have focused on increasing competition and transparency, enhancing resilience, and improving sustainability. Major changes in USDA food and nutrition assistance programs largely have related to the expiration of waivers and policies implemented in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which expanded the scope and reach of the programs and allowed for flexibilities in their administration.”
