Colleges of Agriculture at the Land Grant Universities
Author: Committee on the Future of the Colleges of Agriculture in the Land Grant University SystemPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309588936
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Since their inception in 1862, the U.S. land grant colleges have evolved to become the training ground for the nation's and the world's agriculturists. In this book, the committee examines the future of the colleges of agriculture in light of changing national priorities for the agricultural, food, and natural resource system. The effects of federal funding constraints also are examined, as are opportunities for growth presented by developments in science. The committee's preceding volume, Colleges of Agriculture at the Land Grant Universities: A Profile, is a compilation of the data that helped formulate the specific questions to be addressed. Colleges of Agriculture at the Land Grant Univerisities: Public Service and Public Policy is the deliberative report, rating conclusions and recommendations for institutional innovation and public policy. It addresses these and other questions: What education mission should colleges of agriculture adopt--and what strategies should they use--in light of significant changes in the agricultural complex? Research in agriculture is expected to respond to consumer demands, environmental concerns, world population growth, and increasing pressure on agricultural lands. Is the century-old structure of land grant university-based research up to the task? What is the role of extension in light of today's smaller farming communities and larger farming conglomerates? This volume is the culmination of a landmark evaluation of land grant colleges of agriculture, an American institution. This document will be of value to policymakers, administrators, and others involved in agricultural science and education.

This document contains transcripts of testimony and prepared testimony from 93 witnesses who testified at or submitted statements to a Congressional hearing on agricultural research, education, and extension programs. Witnesses included U.S. representatives, administrators of colleges of agriculture in universities, representatives of Farm Bureaus, and representatives of various groups in the agricultural industry. The hearings revolved around a broad range of issues concerning agriculture, with emphasis on the benefits it has produced and the need to continue it and fund it as well as possible. Witnesses also noted the benefits to youth of participation in agricultural youth groups and the need to update techniques, research methodology, and teaching methods to use resources more effectively.
