Alcohol and Agriculture in Africa: Why it Matters and Potential Solutions

Alcohol abuse and addiction is common across rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and poses impediments for economic development. A Colgate-sponsored initiative in Kenya provides information, lessons, and possible solutions.

Presenter: David Murphy is an assistant professor of Economics at Colgate University focusing on economic development. His research uses economic experiments, randomized control trials, and lab-in-the-field experiments to understand the role of information provision for improving livelihoods of those in less-developed countries, especially in a rural or agricultural context.

Annual memberships are available for both individuals and families.  However, all presentations are open to non-members for a $10 fee.
