Abstract:
The Commission, a unit of the Agricultural Board, Division of Biology and Agriculture, NAS-NRC, funded by NSF, has two objectives;
(1) The first is to continue to review trends in education for undergraduates in agriculture and natural resources; stimulate discussion, re-evaluation and improvement; and prepare recommendations for the development of academic programs in the future.
(2) The second goal will be to stimulate and assist in the development of the agricultural aspects of general education, especially but not exclusively general biological education, at all educational levels. This encompasses agriculture as a contribution to the cultural enrichment of the student population at large, as well as to the professional goals of biologists and other scientists and engineers.
