Abstract
The U.S. food system can be conceived of as three interrelated sectors: agriculture, food, and nutrition. For a long time, was the almost exclusive province of those concerned with the portion of the agricultural sector. The focus was producer oriented. The impact on food and nutrition was primarily left to market forces. During the past twenty years, though, the issues on the agenda and the participants have expanded to include more fully food and nutrition. A host of nonfarm groups asserted a right to participate in the policy-making process. As Paarlberg noted, farm has become and food policy (p. 2). Carol Foreman, an Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in the Carter administration, advocated a nutrition-based policy, as opposed to the historical farm-oriented perspective.
