This centre will provide opportunities to study how legal systems shape food systems and influence the agricultural sector. With the aim of developing expertise in the area of agriculture law, National Law University is going to establish a Centre of Agriculture and Food Law. The focus of this centre will be to support an array of courses, publications, conferences, and facilitate research initiatives in agricultural law. The centre will also explore the scope of agricultural law in its convergence with food law areas. The Centre will provide timely, critically objective information to producers, professionals and agribusinesses concerning the application of important developments in agricultural law. The Centre will also engage students in legal issues involving the full scope of food and agriculture, including marketing and finance; biotechnology; international trade; tax planning; soil and water conservation; land use and environmental issues; food safety; and federal farm programs.
