National Associations

The EAAE and other sister associations in the world share a common interest in: promoting the agricultural and resource economics profession; fostering analytical capacities in all areas relevant for agriculture, the food sector, rural development and natural resources and; promoting the exchange of experiences, ideas and information on research activities between agricultural economists. For this reason, the EAAE Board initiated Memorandums of Understanding (MoU’s) with other associations.
