Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In 2017, U.S. farmers received more than $16 billion in subsidies. Critics often point out that these subsidies disproportionately benefit farmers with larger farms. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that the global population will reach 10 billion by 2050. Experts estimate that the world will need to produce 70% more food to feed this population and that Agricultural Technologies will play a prominent role in increasing production. Besides disrupting the value chain, this shift in technology will also provide a tremendous amount of information and transparency in agri-food production systems. This thesis attempts to answer the following question: how can the information provided by the new technologies change the way the Government subsidizes agricultural commodities?
