The Everglades and International Sugar

The Everglades and International Sugar

By: Leo S. Martinuzzi Jr.

The purpose of The Everglades and International Sugar is to examine U.S. sugar policy from a number of perspectives including changes in the world market, the incentives which the policy provides, the impact of sugar on the political process, the environmental damage which the industry has caused, particularly in Florida, and the increasing dichotomy between our sugar policy on the one hand and our efforts to promote international trade and development on the other.
