NEW Graduate Student Poster Competition

UF’s Food Resource Economics Department is excited to host a graduate student poster competition at the Agricultural Policy Outlook Conference on May 8th, 2025, at the UF/IFAS Plant Science Research and Education Center in Citra, FL! This competition provides graduate students with an opportunity to gain experience in communicating policy issues to a broad audience and in poster creation.

Entries should address a current agricultural policy issue and can be based on the graduate student's ongoing research. The topic should be relevant for Florida agriculture, food, or natural resources, though it may be explored at the federal, state, and/or local level.

Awards

The top three competitors will be recognized during the closing remarks of the conference. They will each receive a certificate and a cash prize. Cash prizes are as follows:

First place: $500
Second place: $300
Third place: $200
