Those policies, sustained over 125 years, have produced the most productive and efficient agricultural and food system in history. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the primary agency responsible for supporting innovations and advances in food and agriculture. USDA funds are allocated to support research through several mechanisms, including the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). In 2008, Congress replaced USDA's National Research Initiative with AFRI, creating USDA's flagship competitive research grants program, and the 2008 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act, known as the Farm Bill, outlined the structure of the new program. Spurring Innovation in Food and Agriculture assesses the effectiveness of AFRI in meeting the goals laid out by Congress and its success in advancing innovations and competitiveness in the U.S. food and agriculture system."--Publisher's description 588 Description based on online resource; title from resource home page (National Academies Press, viewed December 12, 2014). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 10 United States.|bDepartment of Agriculture.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79008243 610 17 United States.|bDepartment of Agriculture.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1852329 610 20 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (National Institute of Food and Agriculture (U.S.))|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011114338 610 27 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (National Institute of Food and Agriculture (U.S.))|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/2052099 650 0 Agriculture|xResearch|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007100912|xFinance.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002007885 650 0 Agricultural innovations|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114115|xFinance. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002007885 650 7 Agriculture|xResearch.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /801593 650 7 Finance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/924349 650 7 Agricultural innovations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/800915 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79036113|bCommittee on a Review of the USDA Agriculture and Food Research Initiative,|eissuing body. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bBoard on Agriculture and Natural Resources,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n00011027|eissuing body. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bDivision on Earth and Life Studies,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2001053402|eissuing body. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tSpurring innovation in food and agriculture.|dWashington, D.C. : National Academies Press, [2014]|z030929956X|w(OCoLC)900438347 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=941874|zOnline eBook.
