Get a Grip on FARE
Hosted by The Council on Food, Agriculture, and Resource Economics · EN
The Council on Food, Agriculture, and Resource Economics created Get a Grip on FARE to provide a resource for those looking to learn more about the bureaucratic institutions that support The United States of America by providing information on the status of food, agriculture, and resource economics.
We will also create timely content to educate those interested in important issues as they arise. The institutions we plan to cover first are USDA ERS, The Office of The Chief Economist, and more will be announced at a later date.
