Free trade impacts on US-Mexican meat trade

Article Abstract:

An overview of the meat and livestock sectors of the US and Mexico is presented and patterns of trade between the two countries are examined. Livestock trade between the US and Mexico is found to be relatively free of tariff barriers. However, non-tariff barriers appear to impede improved trade. These include domestic subsidy policies of the Mexican government and US policies which influence feed grain prices.

A farm-to-fork stochastic simulation model of pork-borne Salmonellosis in humans: Lessons for risk ranking

Article Abstract:

A farm-to-fork stochastic simulation model of Salmonella in the pork production and consumption chain is used to study the feasibility of such a food systems approach for food-safety risk assessment and policy analysis. This method can be applied in other food-safety risk assessment contexts as well, thus saving unnecessary expenses.
