The National Agricultural Law Center (NALC) and Agri-Pulse Communications have joined forces to present a timely and critical webinar, “The Road Ahead: Agriculture, Trade, and Policy in a Changing World.” Scheduled for March 2025, this event will delve into the complexities of international agricultural trade, offering insights into the latest policy developments and their implications for the U.S. farm economy.
The webinar comes at a pivotal moment when global trade dynamics are undergoing significant shifts. With the U.S. farm economy heavily reliant on international trade, stakeholders are increasingly concerned about the potential impacts of global tariffs, retaliatory measures, and other policy changes. The event aims to address these concerns by providing a comprehensive overview of the current trade landscape and its future trajectory.
The webinar will feature two distinguished experts in the field of agricultural trade: Kenneth Isley, a partner at Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and Peter Friedmann, the executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition. Isley brings a wealth of experience in policy, law, and international trade, while Friedmann offers deep insights into transportation logistics and their impact on agricultural trade. Together, they will provide attendees with a nuanced understanding of how current policies and logistics influence the agricultural sector.
Oliver Ward, the international trade editor at Agri-Pulse, will moderate the discussion. Ward’s expertise in international trade will ensure a thoughtful and engaging conversation, allowing attendees to gain valuable perspectives from the panelists. The webinar will cover a range of topics, including market access, transportation logistics, and pricing, all of which are critical factors in the global agricultural trade landscape.
The event is particularly relevant given the ongoing debates surrounding global tariffs and the potential for retaliatory measures. These issues have far-reaching implications for U.S. farmers and agricultural businesses, making it essential for stakeholders to stay informed about the latest developments. By participating in this webinar, attendees will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of international trade and make informed decisions for their operations.
Registration for the webinar is free and available online. The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. Central/11:30 a.m. Eastern, providing a convenient opportunity for agricultural stakeholders to engage with leading experts and gain valuable insights into the future of agricultural trade.
