 | | One rationale is that local production of organic produce by families in their own gardens for their own consumption is not taxed or regulated, and that little or no use of the energy-and-land-intensive transport system, or energy-and-labor intensive regulation system is required for these same people to sell the same product to neighbors. | | | Hernando de Soto, Joseph Stiglitz, argue that comprehensive land reform would be more effective than a tax, tariff and trade system, and more likely than any specific agricultural policy, to improve life in developing nations. | | | Agricultural Policy Reform And The Wto: Where Are We Heading? |

| | Common Agricultural Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Since the MacSharry reforms cereal prices are closer to the equilibrium level, there is greater transparency in costs of agricultural support and the 'de-coupling' of income support from production support has begun. | | | CAP reform has steadily lowered its share of the EU budget but it still accounts for nearly half EU expenditure. | | | This subsidy is estimated to cost each EU citizen on average £16 or €24 per week although intervention costs and subsidy are decreasing. |

| | The Agenda 2000 program (agreed in 1999) and the subsequent policy reviews have continued the reform process, with direct payments increasingly replacing high institutional prices as the chief means of subsidizing farmers. | | | Since under the existing arrangements these nations would be due substantial amounts of direct payments, the EU decided that the new members would initially be granted only a proportion of their full entitlement, once again postponing more fundamental reform of the CAP. | | | Estimates of the CAP's total expense vary widely due to differences in the methods employed and movements in world food prices; one ballpark figure is that it costs each EU citizen about £250 a year. |

| | Agriculture is therefore a crucial sector and an important engine of growth for the rest of the economy. | | | Agriculture's contribution to the GDP and employment growth will be maximised, the marketing margins between producers and consumers will be minimised, and the scope for cross-subsidisation of producers by consumers will be limited to explicit and visible policy instruments such as tariffs. | | | Within the agricultural sector, the main objective of trade policy reform is to sustain the integration of the sector in the global economy in order to encourage internal and external competition and allow greater access to markets, technology and capital for South African agriculture. |

| | Agricultural incomes were sustained not by direct subsidies to struggling farmers but by unlimited intervention buying of any produce which could not be sold at a higher price on the open market. | | | Established by the Treaty of Rome in 1958, it was for many years the only significant Community policy, accounting for over two-thirds of the budget, providing vast subsidies and substantially raising the cost of food to consumers. | | | The 1957 Treaty of Rome, which is the foundation stone for EU competition policy, prohibits price-fixing, market-sharing, discriminatory agreements and abuse of dominant position, with the aim of promoting free trade; but it is a sufficient defence to prove public benefit. |

| | Argument - Agricultural Policy Data Quality |
| | While policy measures and legislation are crucial factors of food security, they are difficult or impossible to measure quantitatively. | | | China's agricultural policy, its land-related legislation, and the government's price or market regulations can usually be described only verbally and through anecdotal evidence. | | | A good example is China's recent Grain Bag policy, which assigns greater autonomy - but also additional responsibility - to the provincial governments for managing the grain sector. |

| | Yet, it is the broad policy, such as tax legislation, trade agreements, health care policy, anti-trust rulings, and Social Security reform, that have the greatest impact on the well-being of rural families and communities. | | | Rural and agricultural interest groups have a tendency to analyze policy proposals that have a narrow rural focus; they generally do not fully engage in impact analysis of broad policy proposals on rural America. | | | The purpose of such analysis is to inform the public policy-making process, with an ultimate goal of improved public policy and strengthened rural communities. |

| | Agriculture and rural development will account for 45 per cent of the total EU budget, a reduction on the days when it was over 70 per cent, but still a large amount for countries which include some of the most urbanised in the world. | | | With agreement reached on eastern enlargement, after further concessions on agricultural and other issues (the persistent Poles will get an extra €1 billion in cash for their government budget in 2004-6), referenda to be held in the accession states were the next hurdle to be overcome. | | | The US Farm Bill was a grab for the budget by well-organised mid-western Congressmen, not a change in the policy of the US administration. |

| | While Maryland produces 0.8 percent of U.S. agricultural output (by farm-gate value), the state receives only 0.3 percent of commodity program payments as of 2000. | | | Maryland receives only 0.2 percent of federal spending on agricultural conservation programs. | | | Maryland’s interests, as a producer of exported commodities with negligible production of the heavily protected imported commodities listed above, are clearly aligned with freeing up trade restrictions. |
