Summary

This 2020 policy report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation presents a comparative examination of the technology and innovation policy positions articulated by the two major US presidential candidates. As a policy analysis document rather than empirical research, it documents and contrasts the candidates' stated approaches to digital regulation, research funding, intellectual property, and innovation strategy to inform electoral and policy deliberation. The work sits outside the scope of Vitagri's Pulse Brain focus on farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, and human health outcomes.

UK applicability

This paper addresses US federal technology policy and does not directly apply to UK farming, soil health, or food system contexts. UK policymakers may find comparative value in reviewing how different political administrations frame innovation policy, but the document does not address agricultural innovation, food systems, or nutrition.

Key measures

Outcomes reported
