The workshops aim to unite AAEA panelists and participants to achieve three primary goals:
- Evaluate the current state of knowledge and its implications for policy, offering directions for future research, education, and outreach.
- Foster a greater understanding among applied economists of the opportunities and challenges arising from the application of proposed new nutritional measurements.
- Promote dialogue on food and nutritional security and obesity, while identifying potential opportunities to integrate this knowledge into joint research projects.
