Over the past 5 years, with support from partners in both countries, the annual U.S.-China Agriculture Roundtable has evolved into the broadest-based bilateral platform for U.S.-China agricultural exchange drawing leading agriculture experts, policymakers, and innovators from both nations to address shared global challenges such as global food security, sustainable agriculture, and climate resilience.
Following the two virtual dialogues during the pandemic, the 2023 (3rd annual) roundtable took place in St. Louis and the 2024 (4th annual) one was hosted in Shandong province, China.
This year marks the 5th year of this important bilateral dialogue platform. Its expanded program reflects the growing scope and importance of agricultural cooperation between our nations, featuring innovative formats for peer-to-peer engagement and exchanges.
