Extract: This study reports on an ongoing research effort in the Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service (ESCS) aimed at generating and maintaining up-to-date price, production, consumption, and trade projections for agricultural commodities in the major countries and regions of the world. The study assesses alternative world food prospects through the use of a mathematical model of the world's grain-oilseeds-livestock economies (GOL) model. The study is being published in four volumes. Volume 1, an analytical report, discusses the output of the model's projections to 1985. Volume 2 contains detailed country and regional supply-distribution tables and related price and growth rate tables. Volume 3 describes and presents the mathematical equations used in the GOL model. Volume 4 will be a users' manual. Volume 2 is expected to be updated periodically to maintain a current set of alternative projections.
