Immigrant workers are important to U.S. agriculture. The four articles in this set explore the impacts of immigrant workers, legal or illegal, on various aspects of U.S. agriculture, along with rural labor markets. A number of policy implications are also covered.
Agriculture and Trade
Export-Led Food Quality
Bruce A. Babcock and Helen H. Jensen, Guest Editors
Countries, both developing and developed, are using different public policies and private-sector initiatives to encourage export-enhancing changes in food production systems. Examples show how public policies in developing countries encourage private-sector production and processing systems to meet international standards for food safety and quality, while in developed countries, private-sector initiatives can increase the value of exports through product differentiation.
We are working on future theme coverage on Animal ID, Illegal Immigration, Water Quality, Returns to Research and Extension, and Export-Led Food Quality. See our thematic coverage page for a complete list and planned schedule.
