Food, Agriculture, and the Environment: Law and Policy

The final project for this course required me to write a 12-page policy proposal for an agricultural issue of my choice. I chose to create marketplace regulations that provide fair economic opportunities for small farmers. 

​

While completing research for this paper, I learned about existing USDA regulations and lack of enforcement in the market setting. I also became acquainted with the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, which provides the foundation for my "locally grown" market proposal. See the below attachment of my final product.
