Ever wondered how American food and beverages get to markets and dinner tables in other countries? The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, with nearly 100 offices covering 180 countries, serves as the eyes, ears, and voice for U.S. agriculture around the world. Many Americans may not be familiar with the work of the Foreign Agricultural Service, yet agricultural diplomats play a crucial role in keeping our economy strong by helping bring U.S. agricultural businesses to international markets.

To explore this important part of the U.S. Foreign Service, Diplomats@Work will host Candice Bruce, to chat about her work in the Foreign Agricultural Service. Join us to learn more about this small but mighty group and what it means to be an Agricultural Diplomat! Click here to register.

The event is open to the public. There will be opportunity for Q&A. Questions? Please contact events@afsa.org
