The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is inviting stakeholders to the 101st Agricultural Outlook Forum. This essential event will be held at the Crystal City Gateway Marriott and available via livestream on February 27-28, 2025. This year’s theme, “Meeting Tomorrow’s Challenges, Today,” will focus on the future dynamics of the U.S. agricultural sector.
USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer will deliver a key presentation on the 2025 outlook for the U.S. agricultural economy and trade. Attendees can expect a rich program featuring a plenary panel with distinguished guest speakers and 30 breakout sessions. These sessions, organized by various USDA agencies, will cover vital topics including commodity prices, farm income, global trade, biofuels, and strategies for climate resilience.
The forum is not only a hub for learning but also a networking opportunity, with exhibit booths from USDA agencies showcasing the latest innovations and program updates.
