Ag Symposium
Yesterday the agricultural and applied economics Association along with the Council on Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics or (C-FARE) sponsored a symposium entitled "Tackling the Challenges of Innovative Trade and Maintaining Robust Markets, Capitalizing on Big Data, and Advancing Consumer Health" in an effort to form research priorities for the short and long-term. Trade, agriculture markets, and consumer health and spending are all issues impacting Americans on a day-to-day basis, and the ever-changing landscape has researchers taking a closer look at where their focus should be.
"Americans will face critical challenges in the future related to food, agriculture, and the environment," says AAEA President and symposium speaker Jayson Lusk. "With the priorities document, we aim to provide the agricultural community our thoughts on where future investments in research will have the biggest impact."
