Abstract

The production, exchanges and prices of food products are strongly influenced by the agricultural and trade policies of the world's largest countries. These policies are one of the major drivers of global food security. This paper will provide an overview of the key agricultural and trade policies of the major players - i.e. countries - in the global food system. A separate, detailed overview of farm policies in Brazil, China and the US is included.
