Trade disputes between the United States, Canada, and Mexico surrounding agricultural products are widespread and show no signs of abating. A recent conference held in Florida in 2003 that included lawyers, economists, and private sector representatives examined the issues surrounding trade disputes in industries such as lumber, live cattle, and wheat and dairy products. International Agricultural Trade Disputes: Case Studies in North America presents the findings of this conference and analyzes trade disputes and relevant trade issues from 1995 to 2003.

Examines the patterns of continuity and change in Canadian agricultural policy making in important areas like farm income support programs, prairie grain marketing, supply management, animal and food product safety, and the regulation of genetically modified crops and foods.
