ACRE had a great time at Ag Day on the Hill, sharing our latest research and programs at the University of Memphis. With agriculture and forestry as Tennessee's top industry, we're proud to contribute to this vital part of our state's economy. Thank you to Farm Bureau for hosting
Researchers from ACRE will conduct experiments to explore how consumers choose products marketed as supporting biodiversity-friendly farming, and how much more they’re willing to pay for them. Lead by ACRE members Susana Jaramillo, Chris Ramezanpour, Jen Mandel and Shawn Brown.
