Agriculture and food provide all people with a foundation for living. Our land and water resources provide food, fiber, medicines, industrial commodities, fuel and more. We investigate and analyze specific topics in agriculture and food and evaluate the environmental impact of our current practices. We look critically at the challenges farmers face to produce enough food for a growing world population and at the controversies over technologies used to address these challenges, and we will consider whether, and how, farming can be done in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way.
