New projects, old problems

This issue highlights 20 new projects this year, while Distinguished Fellow Fred Kirschenmann explains how "feeding the world" may be creating the problems we had hoped to solve. Director Jerry DeWitt tells how technology is used to share research results, and you'll learn more about a new partnership with a sustainable ag center outside New York City.

Other features: Managing grassed waterways, food facts, historic Leopold family photos, a report from the Center's third marketing workshop, a search for farmers who have used cover crops.
