Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Minutes of the 2026 NC1034 Business Meeting

Meeting time: 9:00-10:00am, March 28, 2026
Meeting location: Texas A&M University-Fort Worth, 801 Cherry St, Fort Worth, TX 76102

Input from Dr. Tala Awada:

Just met with other AES directors in Tucson, AZ to review Multi-state Hatch project proposals. No concerns about the renewal of NC1034. Likely to receive final notification within a week. The NC1034 proposal was well received, work viewed as very important. There were just a few minor recommendations:
•     Refine language to be consistent with stated USDA priorities
•     Seek to develop one or two major focal initiatives in next few years
•     Increase collaboration/integration across institutions
New policies announced from USDA restricting collaborations with "malign recruitment programs" from listed countries. Recommends each participant to discuss with their university's compliance officer.

Announcements:

• Congratulations to NC1034 participants Madhu Khanna and David Zilberman for being elected fellows of AAAS.
• The proposal to AAEA to create a new section on Agricultural Innovation and Productivity (AIP) has been approved. David Zilberman is the inaugural chair. Two members, Greg Graff and Madhu Khanna have been nominated for election of a new chair-elect.

Planning next year’s meeting:

Valerie Kilders and Juan Sesmero volunteered Purdue University could host the 2027 annual meeting. Jared Hutchins and Gal Hochman volunteered that University of Illinois could assist/support as needed.

Proposed dates March 26-27, 2027;
Location: Purdue campus in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Short-term Outcomes: Project participants shared research findings with a broad set of stakeholders, including industry representatives, farmers and producer groups, policymakers, regulators, Extension professionals, and nongovernmental organizations through field days, producer and practitioner workshops, invited presentations, and stakeholder engagement events. One example is the Critical Conversation events co-organized by Madhu Khanna at the University of Illinois, which brought together farmers, industry experts, academics, financial experts, as well as representatives of environmental groups and government agencies to discuss challenging sustainability problems (e.g., pest management, solar development, and nitrogen use reduction) and potential pathways for addressing them. Another example is the work by NC1034 participants Pardey and Alston and their co-authors, which provided policymakers and funding agencies with quantitative evidence that increased agricultural R&D investment can improve productivity growth and food affordability, thereby supporting better-informed decisions about public research funding and long-term food-system resilience.

Outputs: See Publications.

Activities: NC1034 participants conducted a broad portfolio of applied economic and interdisciplinary research using empirical, experimental, modeling, life-cycle assessment, benefit-cost analysis, and survey to generate new knowledge on agricultural innovation, productivity, biotechnology, bioenergy, food systems, labor markets, risk management, and technology adoption. These activities resulted in a substantial body of 2025 publications (please see "Publications" included in this report) that advanced scientific understanding of how agricultural research, emerging technologies, market incentives, and public policies affect producers, consumers, rural communities, environmental outcomes, and the resilience of agricultural and food systems.

Milestones: 

1. Organized the NC1034 annual research symposium;

2. Created a new section on Agricultural Innovation and Productivity (AIP) at the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA);

3. Organized track sessions under the section Agricultural Innovation and Productivity at the annual meeting of the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (https://www.aaea.org/meetings);

4. Organized sessions at the International Consortium on Applied Bioeconomy Research annual conference (https://icabr.net/),
