Abstract: The history of agricultural economics and related international activities in AEC/AFRE has roots all the way back to faculty activity in the early 1920s and 1930s in the agricultural economics section of the Economics Department, and in the Department of Farm Management in the College of Agriculture. When the standalone Department of Agricultural Economics (AEC) (now called Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics (AFRE)) was formed in 1949 by joining these two groups, activities began to increase with new faculty interests, resources and changing international problems and opportunities. From the outset, AEC/AFRE tenure-stream as well as fixed-term faculty, graduate students and host-country research collaborators have been instrumental in carrying out high-quality and relationship-building outputs, and in gaining resources for these efforts.
