Timely with the news of recent Salmonella outbreaks, the Government Accountability Office recently identified Food Safety as one of 13 urgent issues facing the next President and Congress.
There appear to be three guides that should be of help in this area:
Agriculture (University of Colorado at Boulder Government Publications Library, 2008)
Food Supply (University of Colorado at Boulder, Government Publications Library, 2008)
Government Documents on Agriculture (Bert Chapman, Purdue University, 1999) Last modified 1/29/2008
The UC Boulder guides on Agriculture and Food Supply have some overlap. In addition to safety in food supply, the Food Supply guide has links to famine related resources and food and nutrition. The Agriculture guide has links to Agricola, the premier agricultural database and to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
