"Sectoral and Food Security Impacts of Agricultural Policy Adjustments in Colombia"
by Arguello, Ricardo


Abstract
We aim to assess the sectoral and food security impacts of changes in agricultural policy in Colombia. For this we use an agriculture specialized static CGE model, running on a 2007 SAM. Even though improving food security is not an stated objective of recent agricultural policy changes in Colombia, the perceived bias in resource allocation that implementation of the new policies have in terms of favoring non-food crops could potentially deteriorate food security, especially for low income households. Results from this research show that, at least in the short run, the reduced impacts that these policies have on the agricultural sector preclude the possibility that food security may deteriorate as a consequence of their implementation.
