The Economic Research Service (ERS) is the main
source of economic information and research from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. Located in Washington, DC, with
approximately 450 employees, the mission of ERS is to inform
and enhance public and private decisionmaking on economic
and policy issues related to agriculture, food, natural resources,
and rural development. To accomplish this mission, highly
trained economists and social scientists develop and distribute
a broad range of economic and other social science information
and analysis.
As the flagship magazine for ERS, Amber Waves contains
articles by ERS researchers and their collaborators. Amber
Waves does not accept articles from outside researchers. Use
of commercial and trade names does not imply approval or constitute
endorsement by USDA.
