This book explores the contributions of system theory to economic research and policy analysis in food and agriculture, presenting seven papers originally presented at the 1976 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control in Florida. The author argues that projections are essential aids in decision-making at both the individual firm and government agency levels, and discusses a credibility gap among decision-makers with respect to modeling. The author also addresses the need for a conceptual framework for policy analysis modeling in food and agriculture, and for better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the various methodologies. The book concludes with a summary of the effort by the US Government Accounting Office to inventory current food and agricultural models available for policy analysis. This book will be of great value to researchers in agricultural economics and system theory, as well as decision-makers in food and agriculture.
