What does 'friend-shoring' mean for agricultural trade?
Join us for our first Husker Trade Talk of the fall semester! Husker Trade Talks are student events put on by the Yeutter Institute, featuring policy discussions and career insights relating to international trade and the global economy.
Description
Recent global disruptions have revealed the vulnerabilities that come with economic interdependence, leading some to revisit why we trade—and who we should trade with. For some, the answer is “friend-shoring,” or limiting trade and supply chains relationships to countries that have similar values. But what would this shift mean for the U.S. agricultural industry that is so reliant on exports, and for the millions benefitting across the globe from its abundant food supply?
