Notes:
This paper originally published in Dellere, R. and Symoens, J.J., eds. Proceedings of the Seminar "Food and Nutritional Strategies : Concepts - Objectives - Application"; 1986 November 3-7; Brussels, Belgium. Brussels, Belgium : Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Co-operation and Royal Academy of Overseas Sciences, 1986. p. 335 355, The Hague, Netherlands : International Service for National Agricultural Research, 1988. 15 p. (ISNAR Reprint Series No. 4), The population pressures of the 1960s were basically responsible for major policy decisions to give a new direction to world agriculture, which had evolved for most of its 10,000 years around traditional practices. It was decided during this period to mobilize science and technology to transform this kind of agriculture into highly productive systems of farming. The concept of genotype-environment interactions was used to synthesize crop varieties which would take full advantage of improved levels of agronomic management. The newly discovered plant-type genes in wheat and rice have been extensively used in the process of genetic reconstruction of traditional cultivars of these crops which had been bred more for adaption to stress environments than for high grain yields. Many developing countries took bold policy decisions to reorganize and strengthen their agricultural research services in pursuance of these objectives. The new agricultural technology developed in this way has already made a significant impact on food production in some of these countries, more particularly in Asia and Latin America. The impact has been much less in Africa, where the national agricultural research systems are in an early stage of evolution following their colonial history. It has been argued that the problems of agricultural production in Sub-Saharan Africa are only quantitatively, not qualitatively, different from those of developing countries in other parts of the world. Africa also offers considerable potential for significant advances in agricultural production through the application of the new technology, and this must be the approach in the short term. In the long term, however, the problem of agricultural production in Africa will require a different kind of production technology for its relatively large areas of lands characterized by moisture and fertility stress. This new technology must be based on efficient techniques of soil and water management, with the agronomists playing a key role supported by soil scientists, water technologists, plant breeders and scientists from other disciplines. The multidisciplinary approach becomes particularly important in this context. This paper concludes with a brief discussion of ISNAR/s collaborative work during the past 6 years with a number of Sub-Saharan African countries to strengthen the organization and management of their agricultural research services.

Paper presented at the "Meeting on Environmental Legislation and its Effects on Weed Science," 1988 January 18-20; Tulsa, OK; AGRICOLA IND 89009907., Georgia peanut farmers worried about the EPA's decision to suspend dinoseb, a herbicide that farmers used for the past 40 years. Farmers were critical of a task force's recommendation to ask for an emergency exemption -- Section 18 -- for Gramoxone, instead of fighting for dinoseb. The paper presents a case study of how weed specialists with the Georgia Extension Service worked with the state's news organizations through Extension Service editors to produce stories about their decision, including before and after stories with a farmer who feared that his peanuts were killed by Gramoxone. The case points out how a close working relationship between weed specialists and news editors can enhance educational efforts on a sensitive issue.

James F. Evans Collection; See also C02992, Mimeographed, 1988. 4 p. Paper presented at the Second Annual Technical Communication Conference; 1988 October 15; St Louis, MO., Introduction of desktop publishing (DTP) technology into our full-service communications office has presented a number of new management problems as traditional roles and the working relationship between designers and editors are being redefined. This paper (1) examines that relationship; (2) identifies some of those problems; (3) discusses the steps we've taken to manage the application of DTP to a variety of projects - from simple brochures, newsletters, and fact sheets to larger, more complex publications that traditionally were typeset; and (4) identifies areas of ongoing concern as we look back on our less-than-idyllic honeymoon period and attempt to renegotiate terms for happily continuing the partnership between editor and designer.
