THE QUESTIONS START SMALL, VERY SMALL. AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL,
EVEN. IS IT OK TO GENETICALLY MODIFY FOOD IF THE RESULTING
CROPS EASE WORLD HUNGER? THEY ONLY GET BIGGER FROM
THERE. WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS OF DRILLING
INTO NEW NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES? WHAT WILL CLIMATE
CHANGE DO TO OUR SHORELINES AND OUR ATMOSPHERE
IN 10, 100 OR 1,000 YEARS? THE ISSUES FACING
AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES STUDENTS
ARE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND GLOBAL. THEY ARE WHAT
DRIVE US TO ACT. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
CHANGE STARTS SMALL, BUT MOMENTUM SHIFTS
QUICKLY. DO YOU FEEL THE PULL?

BUILDING ON OUR ROOTS
Call it the Agricultural Revolution. Gone are the days when farming and industry
occupied their own parts of the landscape. With an ever-expanding urban population,
conflicts over land and resources continue to increase. Established as a land-grant
institution, our college now looks to create harmony between the forces battling for
our attention: nature, hunger, economic growth and government policies to name a few.We can improve agriculture and protect our environment at the same time. But finding
workable solutions calls for a delicate handand an understanding that what we do
today will determine our future. Thats where you come in.
FROM THE FIELD:
Agriculture combines the latest
in technology and the noble
pursuit of improving global
food production to bring new
and innovative solutions to
farmers around the world. As
a plant breeder, you not only
feed yourself, you feed the
world.JOHN SOPER 81, M.S. 83,
