Abstract

In this paper, we present perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from leaders in the Agricultural and Applied Economics profession. The leaders address how to enhance DEI by identifying goals, barriers, and strategies. DEI programs are already underway, and with the changing student demographics to an increasing proportion of minority students, leaders in Agricultural and Applied Economics departments and employing organizations may want to further position themselves to continue to have an impact. Moreover, creating a successful DEI environment for students may also require improvements in the hiring and retention of diverse talent in academic departments and government institutions. Professional associations like the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) may assist in helping students transition from their academic programs to successful careers, particularly if in collaboration with hiring institutions.
