Abstract

Brazil, China and U.S. play crucial roles in global food supply and demand system as consumers, producers, and traders. Therefore, any agricultural and environmental policy tool of these 3 countries deserve special attention since their policy environment contributes to farmers' decisions to plant and consumers' decisions to buy. In an era of growing demand pressures, it is more important than ever before to understand the impact of policies relevant to land and water resources. This study attempts to identify and analyze these dynamics for these 3 countries in a global context.
