Abstract:
Modern day Agriculture is of a dynamic nature: world population continues to increase at a very rapid rate: millions of people are hungry and dying because of a food shortage in many areas of the world, yet Agiculture in the United States is facing over-production, free-market battles, import-export confrontations and currently a very depressed livestock rnarket. These are the "New Challenges" facing the Agriculturalindustry. Today most people take the food we eat for granted and fail to recognize all the factors involved in production, processing, and marketing of Agricultural products. Consequently interest in the study of Agriculture at Colleges and Universities had declined tremendously in the late 50's and early 60's. This trend has taken a sudden change; thus enrollment in Agriculture and Agricultural-Related Services has increased during the last several years. Even larger increases are expected in the future.
