During the 20th century, the Great Plains emerged as the American breadbasket, with sufficient agricultural surpluses to support substantial exports and foreign aid programs. Unfortunately, this incredible bounty is threatened by a shifting climate, resource depletion and population declines that threaten to undermine American food security and contribute to global shortages as American exports are unable to make up for deficiencies on areas that are not self-supporting. American ideas about economic systems, resource allocation and social organization have all had a strong influence on the way Americans both viewed and used the Great Plains in the last 100 years.
