USDA-ERS Launches Amber Waves Magazine App

The USDA-ERS announced yesterday a new mobile application to bring its widely-read Amber Waves magazine to readers via their digital devices. Launched at USDA’s 89th annual Agricultural Outlook Forum, the Amber Waves app ensures that the magazine’s data-rich content will be accessible anytime and anywhere to those handling tablets and, eventually, other digital devices.

The Amber Waves app is downloadable free to the bookshelves of iPads through iTunes and Android tablets through Google Play. The magazine will arrive on bookshelves quarterly.

Produced by ERS and geared to general-interest readers, Amber Waves covers the full range of the agency’s research and analysis on the food sector, agriculture, rural America, and the environment. Since its launch in 2003, the magazine has evolved with the addition of podcasts, RSS feeds, and social media content. Find the app along with the latest issue of Amber Waves at the mobile-friendly site, www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves. As the agency’s flagship publication, Amber Waves contains articles by ERS researchers and their collaborators.
