FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Market access, transportation logistics, and pricing are all impacted by agricultural trade and policy developments, and a March webinar will highlight the latest in international policy and what lies ahead.
The webinar will be co-hosted by the National Agricultural Law Center, or NALC, and Agri-Pulse Communications.
“The U.S. farm economy is heavily dependent on international trade,” said NALC Director Harrison Pittman. “With increased talk of global tariffs and the potential of retaliatory tariffs, among other issues, agricultural stakeholders are wondering what the future holds for international trade. We’re excited to partner with Agri-Pulse to provide valuable perspectives on how current international trade policies and transportation logistics influence the agricultural sector.”
The webinar, “The Road Ahead: Agriculture, Trade, and Policy in a Changing World,” will feature Kenneth Isley, partner at Barnes & Thornburg LLP, and Peter Friedmann, executive director of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition.
“Ken and Peter are nationally recognized agricultural trade experts,” Pittman said. “From their extensive backgrounds with policy, law, and international trade, attendees will gain a better understanding of the road ahead for trade and U.S. agriculture.”
Oliver Ward, international trade editor at Agri-Pulse, will moderate the webinar.
“I’m looking forward to moderating this insightful panel,” said Ward. “Kenneth and Peter have a wealth of knowledge from their years of experience regarding trade and agricultural commodities. As global markets continue to evolve, there’s a lot to discuss.”
The webinar will begin at 10:30 a.m. Central/11:30 a.m. Eastern. Registration is available at no cost at nationalaglawcenter.org/webinars/the-road-ahead-agriculture-trade-and-policy-in-a-changing-world.
