Researchers at the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development have been working closely with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences through a joint research project that began in February 2017. That relationship has resulted in the formation of a new research center that focuses on outreach in the areas of trade and agricultural markets, agricultural policy, resource and environmental policy, and science and technology policy. Dermot Hayes, Wendong Zhang, Yongjie Ji, Minghao Li, and visiting scholar Pingping Wang are all involved in research at the center.

A new website that provides details of recent activities, publications and presentations, resources, and news relevant to the center is now live at www.card.iastate.edu/china.
