The United States Agricultural & Food Law and Policy Blog is the comprehensive news, research, and information blog resource for the nation’s agricultural community. The Blog is provided through a partnership of the National Agricultural Law Center at the University of Arkansas and the American Agricultural Law Association, two national institutions that uniquely serve the nation’s agricultural community.

Established more than 25 years ago, the American Agricultural Law Association (AALA) is the only national professional organization focusing on the legal needs of the agricultural community. Crossing traditional barriers, AALA offers an independent forum for investigation of innovative and workable solutions to complex agricultural law problems. This role has taken on greater importance in the midst of the current international and environmental issues reshaping agriculture and the impending technological advances which promise equally dramatic changes.

Created by Congress more than 20 years ago, the National Agricultural Law Center is a federally funded, nonpartisan research and information entity that serves as the nation’s leading source of agricultural and food law research and information. The Center provides agricultural and food law research and information to the nation’s vast agricultural community, which includes attorneys, producers, policymakers, academics, extension personnel, consumers, and others. The Center is funded through the National Agricultural Library, an agency within the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.

The United States Agricultural & Food Law and Policy Blog is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date news, research, and information to the nation’s agricultural community. The Blog is comprised of more than three dozen subject areas, which correspond primarily with the Reading Rooms subject areas presented on the web site of the National Agricultural Law Center. Categories will be added as necessary.

While the United States Agricultural & Food Law and Policy Blog is accessible to the general public, content entries are moderated by an editorial board. The public is invited to submit blog entries or to recommend news and other items for publication by sending the pertinent information to agandfoodlaw@gmail.com.

The United States Agricultural & Food Law and Policy Blog is complemented by the American Agricultural Law Association Listserve, which is available to members of the AALA. For more information regarding the American Agricultural Law Association Listserve, please click here.
