A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the need for the negotiation of an international agricultural conservation reserve treaty.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should initiate multilateral negotiations with all major agricultural commodity exporting nations to establish an international agricultural conservation reserve to reduce worldwide grain surpluses and control soil erosion. States that the basis for such reserve should be: (1) all signatory nations shall agree to bring virgin land into cropland production and return a certain percentage of cropland to its natural state; (2) an emergency provision to allow a portion of the cropland of all signatory nations to be put back in production if emergency food reserves are depleted or if production did not meet domestic consumption; and (3) a coordinated international food aid program.
