The various WTO agreements encourage free movement of goods and certain kinds of services. Possible agreements on cross-border investment and competition policy may allow for freer international movement of capital, already encouraged by the IMF.

If local CSAs were able [and willing] to accept SNAP payments, the benefit of the federal subsidy would be fourfold: (1) it could provide those living in poverty with healthy food, (2) support local farmers with having more shares of their farm sold to
