NE-165 PROJECT PROPOSAL
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The importance of post farm gate marketing activities cannot be overstated
when analyzing the sustainability of agricultural production, rural economies,
and access to safe, affordable food by all segments of the U.S. population.
The NE-165 Project: Private Strategies, Public Policies, and Food System
Performance is the primary national cooperative research effort that
addresses the economics of post farm gate activities, the impact of public
policies on these activities, and the resulting performance of the food
system. In its renewed form, the Project will add an international context by
encouraging research on international issues and cooperation with participants
from Canada, the United Kingdom, and France.
