Through trade agreements and inflation, tariff levels have been reduced to about one fourth the 1931-1934 levels. These advances toward a freer trading position have been hindered by the rapid growth in import quotas. Some sectors of American agriculture have been in the forefront of those seeking import limitations. The use of price supports in implementing American agricultural programs tends to en courage imports and discourage exports. In addition, price supports have stimulated new programs to encourage exports; such as by transferring purchasing power abroad, or by reduc ing export prices. These programs range from special loans, sales for local currency (Public Law 480), to export subsidies. Such attempts to insulate domestic agricultural prosperity from the world market divert individual attention and reduce the pressures which otherwise might strongly press for an ac tive and liberal trade policy. Similarly these programs have lowered the influence of the foreign protests, by introducing the additional opinions of those benefiting from special sales. The present complex of programs and policies has quieted the voices of many of those strongly proposing freer trade in order to lower costs.
Agriculture has a critical significance for every country. Growing cereal, vegetable, fruit, animal breeding and fishery are some of the agricultural activities. First of all, it is important to mention that population is fed by agricultural activities. Raw materials are obtained through these activities. Employment is ensured for the citizens and foreign exchange income is ensured by exporting the goods. Per capita income increases through various agricultural activities. The basic goal of agricultural activities is to ensure sufficient and balanced nourishment of citizens. Agricultural policies that are determined according to the realities of Turkey will surely accelerate the development of the country. Agricultural activities should be the basic driving force of national development. Modern production methods in agriculture should be applied. Highly productive seeds should be used. Irrigated farming should be extended. Agricultural diseases and pesticides should be prevented. Marketing should be enhanced. Agriculture based food industries should be established and supported.

Diet includes many risk factors for the most common non-communicable diseases (NCDs), but diets consumed in Europe and in other parts of the developed world are not being modified sufficiently to take account of health priorities concerning, in particular, the prevention of NCDs, while much excess mortality and morbidity could be prevented by government actions to regulate appropriately both the agricultural and food industries, and to apply appropriate taxes and subsidies to promote healthier nutrition. In Europe, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) continues to promote production of saturated fat rich foods and sugar, with scarce attempts to promote increased production of fruit and vegetables. Meanwhile, the food industry continues to market secondary food products rich in sugar, salt and saturated fats. Powerful lobbies seek to block reform; however, necessary reforms are indicated in the interests of improved nutritional health.

The current structure of the American animal agriculture industry is fraught with problems. The externalities from it are disproportionately felt by a limited group of individuals who lack political and economic influence. Far from taxing or constraining animal agriculture, The U.S. Government subsidizes its worst practices through a variety of direct and indirect methods. This paper recommends four specific reforms in agriculture policy that will level the playing field for small farmers and push the industry toward greater economic efficiency.
