We're looking for you on social!

THANK YOU to everyone who has followed us on social media and interacted with our content. We are still looking for more of you to join Twitter and help promote your work and AFRE — the more the better — Titus Awokuse, AFRE Chair, has now taken the leap and
joined Twitter. AFRE’s Twitter page has been getting great engagement from others in the ag and applied economics profession and beyond. Please join and support this effort.
After the push for our social media presence, the next area of our communications focus will be upgrading AFRE websites and placing emphasis on writing profiles and short articles that promotes your research and outreach activities via digital and other news media outlets. Please reach out if you know of anyone (yourself included) with news we can put on the website!
