Pacific Food System Outlook 2003-2004, Where Demographics Will Take the Food System assesses the impact of expanded urbanization, variability in population growth and immigration, and aging populations on the Asia-Pacific food system. The ability of developing countries to adjust to rapid urbanization will be the most important demographic challenge, testing the region's capacity to deliver a steady flow of safe, reasonably priced food.
The Outlook for U.S. Agricultural Trade provides a quarterly update on crop conditions in Australia and New Zealand, with a view to their effects on U.S. agricultural export prospects.
