Abstract

The Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 (P.L. 95-113) contains the authorization for the next 4 years for the farm commodity programs, federally supported agricultural and human nutrition research, and the Food Stamp Program. The National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Amendments of 1977 (P.L. 95-166) are also concerned with food use and consumption. The meaning and potential effects of the 1977 legislation are described. The principal focus is on consumer implications. The theoretical aspects of policy alternatives are briefly presented when useful in explaining policy goals of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977. Changes since enactment are not included, nor are their implications discussed.
