Global Outlook Symposium in Sweden

I just returned from Stockholm, Sweden, where I participated in the Global Outlook Symposium that was part of the celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry.

I was part of the opening panel, which explored agricultural policies in the EU, the US, and New Zealand.  I talked about the US, Alan Swinbank discussed the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU, and Philipp Aerni talked about New Zealand.

You can see the program and information for the symposium, as well the slides from each presentation, and a video of the symposium.  Just go here.

King Carl of Sweden was in attendance for our panel's presentations, and he even spoke with us briefly before the symposium began.  You can see a video of that here.
