Implications of Health Care Reform for Farmers and Rural Residents

This issue features a theme on health care reform, and its impact on those living in nonmetro areas. These articles include a heavy focus on insurance markets, lowering the cost of providing quality care to rural areas, reducing the outcome disparities among populations, and economic development impacts of rural health care.


Agricultural Productivity and Global Food Security in the Long Run

Agricultural productivity and its impact on the supply of food worldwide is discussed in a second theme in this issue. These papers examine recent past patterns in agricultural productivity growth in different parts of the world, including the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union, as well as a more global view.
