The 98th Agricultural Outlook Forum will focus on innovations to minimize the environmental footprint of agriculture and ensure sustainability while improving crop yields.
The virtual forum will begin with a presentation by USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer on the department’s outlook for U.S. commodity markets and trade for 2022 and the U.S. farm income situation. Secretary Tom Vilsack will deliver the keynote address followed by a plenary panel of distinguished guest speakers.
The forum program will also include 30 breakout sessions covering six key areas:
- Climate mitigation and adaptation

- U.S. agricultural trade and global markets
- Commodity outlooks
- Supply chain resilience
