Will U.S. agriculture flourish in an interdependent world economy, or will growing foreign competition cause it to decline?

Antle identifies the long-run trends in global agricultural production, prices, and trade and projects the likely trends of the future. He discusses the role technological change and population growth play in future U.S. and world agricultural development and whether U.S. technical assistance to developing countries helps or harms U.S. agriculture. Using economic principles, the author identifies the likely patterns of world economic development in the coming decades and analyzes the implications of those patterns for the future of U.S. agriculture.

John M. Antle has served as an economic consultant to international agricultural research centers and has published research on agricultural production, agricultural development, applied econometrics, resource economics, and international trade.
