Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics

Welcome to the University of Guelph Department of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics home page. The agricultural economics faculty at the University of Guelph has always contributed in important ways to the growth of the University. For 100 Years FARE has been completing new research and providing learning opportunities for international students. The name reflects the three areas of expertise in the department: food economics, agricultural economics and agribusiness, and resource economics.

Jacob Kerkhoff, MSc student in the Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics department, is spending two months at Wageningen University (the Netherlands) through the Erasmus Mundus International Exchange Program.
