OECD Food and Agricultural Reviews Innovation, Productivity and Sustainability in Food and Agriculture Main Findings from Country Reviews and Policy Lessons

Improving the policy environment would require rolling back those policies that distort markets the most and retain farmers in uncompetitive and low-income activities, harm the environment, stifle innovation, slow structural and generational change, and weaken resilience.
