These materials involve the production and airing of an environmentally sensitive television documentary, "The Price of Bounty," and the considerable controversy that arose from airing it. The program was produced by the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois, through a grant from the Illinois Department of Agriculture with funds provided by fertilizer users. Content involved effects of soil erosion and crop chemicals on the environment, including quality of water supplies. Materials include correspondence, production information, videotapes, newspaper clippings, proceedings of faculty discussions, and other items. They reflect the sensitivities and dynamics in relationships among producers, agribusinesses, communities, environmental groups, farm organizations and universities. They also include expressions of concern in the agricultural community about public perceptions of environmental responsibility, viewpoints about the role of universities in providing information on such matters, and responses by the Department of Agriculture.

16 pages, via online journal, Sugarcane expansion in Brazil during the 2000s was partly restricted by several discussions about the sustainability aspects of its cultivation. These discussions were mainly based on surveys that sometimes use highly aggregated data not including local perspectives and particularities, and sometimes used case studies with small samples which, while listening to local perspectives, cannot be considered representative of the whole sector. This work aims at filling this gap by considering both the perceptions of the local community, which add primary data on impact, and a large sample, to increase the research representativeness. To do so, we present the results of 353 interviews, covering 33 municipalities in five states of the Center-South region of Brazil (the largest cultivation area in the country). The results show that the expansion of biofuels has generated conflict mostly related to environmental and social issues, although there is good acceptance of the sugarcane mills in general. Our conclusions point to the importance of including local voices for a deeper understanding of the advantages and limitations of the expansion of biofuels.
