Protecting the Food Supply
The Research and Scientific Exchanges Division (RSED) of FAS promotes international cooperation on sustainable agricultural and forestry systems to help secure a safe and adequate food supply. RSED supports cooperation between American and foreign researchers through activities directed at potential threats to U.S. agriculture and forestry, development of new technologies, and enhancement of agribusiness and trade in foreign markets. Participating countries benefit through a variety of activities including both short and long-term visits of U.S. and foreign scientists, collaborative research projects, and technical workshops.
