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 producing nations to establish an international agricultural conservation reserve to reduce worldwide grain surpluses and control soil erosion. States that the basis for such reserve would be: (1) all signatory nations would agree not to bring virgin land into crop production and return a certain percentage of cropland to its natural state; and (2) an emergency provision to allow a portion of the cropland of all signatory nations to be put back in production if stocks fell below a level assuring adequate food supplies or if production did not meet domestic consumption.
