Departments of agricultural economics have shown great flexibility in including agribusiness in their Bachelor's and Master's teaching programs. Ph.D and research programs appear to adjust more slowly to changing demand. Although agricultural economics programs are providing a variety of service course offerings, opportunities for joint programs with biological, physical, and natural sciences, particularly resource management, are not being exploited. If business schools decide to compete for agribusiness students in the future, missed opportunities with other departments and schools may become very costly. If this profession is to remain viable in the long run, it must continue to evolve, developing opportunities with biological, physical, and natural disciplines, in order to meet the demands of a changing m...

The 1990 Comprehensive Energy Plan for Iowa established two statewide goals around which current energy policy is structured: • To meet all future demand for energy by increasing efficiency rather than supply • To increase the use of alternative energy resources from 2% of Iowa's total energy

The current genetic modifications are focused on pest management technologies. Although there were early efforts by environmental activists to disrupt the adoption of GMO technology, few concerns were raised by US food retailers and consumers. The primary concern was getting European Union (EU) regulatory approval for each GMO crop variety event as late as spring 1999. The situation has changed ...
