For Policy Makers

We provide information and data to help policy makers make informed decisions when developing community and public policies which will impact Arkansans.

The National Agricultural Law Center is the only agricultural law research and information facility that is independent, national in scope, and directly connected to the national agricultural information network. As a result of the expanding scope of agricultural law and its convergence with related areas, the Center also includes food law in the scope of its coverage.

The Community, Professional and Economic Development section of the Cooperative Extension Service provides analysis for policy makers, as well as resources for communities and businesses to strengthen their local economies.
