Join the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) and the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) for this event, which is endorsed by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) and the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
