OECD Food and Agricultural Reviews Innovation, Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in the United States e-bog

The US food and agriculture sector is innovative, competitive and export-oriented. Changes innational and global demand offer further opportunities for US agri-food products, although climate change and other resource constraints could create additional challenges, in particular in some regions. Maintaining high productivity growth, while improving the sustainable use of resources will require further innovation. In a policy environment generally favourable to investment and innovation, the strong US agricultural innovation system is expected to continue to create innovations that will be widely adopted, to the extent that these can be widely accepted.
