Lancaster 717-393-3906 U.S. Agriculture And World Affairs Wheat geneticist Norman Borlaug, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, summed up the relationship between agriculture and foreign affairs concisely and well when he said, “There can be no peace on earth until every man has a full belly." The fact that the United States is the world’s leading supplier of a wide range of farm commodities the world wants gives us a powerful hand in foreign affairs. Food, most of it produced by American farmers, helped the free world recover from the devastation of World War 11. For years, U.S. agricultural production fed hundreds of millions of people, first under the Marshall Plan and later under Public Law 480 (the Food for Peace law), as governments were stabilized and economies were rebuilt. Dozens of countries that once were primarily recipients of U.S. food aid have become full-fleged trading partners. The most notable countries are those of Europe and Japan. Long term trade with these nations has helped to cement relationships, com plementing efforts to work for a more peaceful world. The productivity of American agriculture and its dependability as a supplier of food and feed has played a major role in the easing of tensions in more recent times between the United States and the nations of eastern Europe and the Peoples’ Republic of China.

The United States and the Soviet Union have entered into an agreement for the exchange of agricultural research and technical information that is already being extensively implemented by technicians and economic specialists of the two countries.
