More Description

The goal for this publication is to enhance public awareness of how agriculture (which encompasses the art and science of plant and animal production, provision of machinery and materials for that production; and processing, manufacture, and marketing of food, fiber, and other products useful for human activity), can help solve problems associated with the byproducts of our increasingly urban and industrial society. Information contained in these chapters was presented in part at a joint symposium entitled "Wastes as Resources" during the 1993 American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America Annual Meetings in Cincinnati, Ohio. The theme for those meetings was "Building Bridges," and one goal was to share visions of how we (as model agronomists, crop scientists, and soil scientists) might use our knowledge and experience to address new challenges in a changing world.
