Public participation in agriculture policy occurs through government service programmes that do not involve transfers or price support for producers. Instead they take the form of permitted domestic support (green box) in the area of general services, food security and aid programmes, structural adjustment assistance provided through investment aids and environmental programmes directed at small agricultural producers, in particular family farms and the most vulnerable farmers.
