The 2023 GAP Report has been released! China's TFP has grown by 1.97%, much larger than most countries. This is mainly due to their push to reverse unsustainable practices. China currently spends twice as much as the U.S. on public agricultural research and development.

It's time for "What's that?" Wednesday: Acre If you've ever spoke to someone about their farmland or even about real estate in general, the word "acre" most likely came up. A simple way of thinking about an acre is to picture a football field. They're pretty close in size!

It's time for "What's that?" Wednesday: Honey! September is National Honey Month! Spend the month celebrating the work of bees and beekeepers. Honey is most commonly used as a natural sweetener. Try it in coffee, on toast, or in oatmeal.
