The 2023 U.S.-China Agriculture Roundtable will convene leaders spanning government, business, trade association, nonprofits, education, and think tanks from both countries to focus on the critical global challenge of sustainably producing enough nutritious food to feed the growing population on our planet.

APRIL 4 -13, 2023 · St. Louis, Missouri & Online

2023 年4月4日-13日·圣路易斯,密苏里州及线上

Given the mutual benefit of continued bilateral collaboration in agriculture, we launched the first U.S.-China Agriculture Roundtable in 2021. Thanks to the support and participation of agriculture leaders from both countries, this annual event has grown to be the preeminent bilateral dialogue platform around agriculture, drawing leaders spanning government, trade, business, education, and think tanks from both countries.

Our belief is that U.S.-China cooperation is essential if our planet will be able to successfully deal with the many critical global challenges of our time.

This 3rd annual Roundtable will further strengthen the bi-lateral collaboration and people-to-people friendship around agriculture that have been cultivated through the virtual U.S.-China Agriculture Roundtable in 2021 & 2022, and the hybrid 2022 U.S-China High-Level Agricultural Dialogue.
