Abstract

In the spirit of the classic Davis-Goldberg study of agribusiness, a procedure is presented for estimating and estimates of employment and income originating in the US Food and Fiber System. The Food and Fiber System is on net a nearly wholly domestic based subsystem of the economy accounting for employment for 18.5% of the civilian workforce and a source for 18% of total gross national product.
