Hey Guys!

With a little more than a week before conference you should all be getting super excited for NHSMUN 2012. Beyond that, it is important to keep up with the news, especially the developments on agricultural subsidies. External debt management has been at the forefront of the news, but agricultural subsidies, a subtler topic should not be ignored.

Here are some links at what different areas of the world are going to change/do in 2012 in regards to agricultural subsidies:

United States: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/44/post/federal-budget-2013-agricult...

Zambia: http://www.daily-mail.co.zm/index.php/politics/3940-state-extends-subsid... (look at Zambia and relate it to what similar countries would do/are doing)

European Union: http://www.thenewfederalist.eu/EU-Reforms-Farm-Aid-One-Big-Budget-Many-I...

Can't wait to meet you all!
