This book is based on the contributions of a workshopsponsored in 1977 by the Midwest Center of the American Academy of Artsand Sciences. It has been organized into six topical sections:Constraints on Agricultural Production; Resources and Environment;Distortion of Incentives; International Markets; Agricultural Research;Education and New Institutions; and, finally, the Quest for Equity. Eachsection carries several articles, in some cases with comments on some ofthem. Most of the articles focus on agricultural price and incomepolicies followed in developing countries during the recent past,analysing their effects on the adoption of superior innovations, capitalinvestment , efficient resource allocation, income distribution and,above all, farm productivity.
