The Drake University Agricultural Law Center has a 33-year history of
legal research and policy action promoting better food and agriculture
systems. The Drake Law School supports an array of courses,
publications, conferences, and research initiatives and offers a certification
program in food and agricultural law. Students learn about legal issues
involving the full scope of food and agriculture, including marketing and
finance; biotechnology; international trade; soil and water conservation;
land use and environmental issues; food safety; and federal farm
programs. Students and staff work broadly with farms, government
agencies, businesses, and non-profits to shape a more resilient food
system.
