Sylvia Lane Mentorship Fund

The Sylvia Lane Mentorship Fund was established by the Committee on Women in Agricultural Economics for the AAEA Foundation. The purpose of the fund is to sponsor activities that encourage the academic and professional development of individuals (especially women) conducting economic analyses of food, agricultural or natural resource issues.

Professor Lane has a distinguished record of research and teaching in the areas of consumer credit, health care, rural health service delivery, food stamps and other areas concerning low-income consumers. She was named a fellow of the AAEA in 1984, one of the first women to receive this honor. She served as a consultant to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization and was a member of the President's Committee on Consumer Interests. She is a professor emerita of agricultural and resource economics at the University of California.
