Notes:
Presented at the Association for Communication Excellence (ACE) conference, Des Moines, Iowa, June 9, 2009. 44 pages., Findings confirm the wide scatter of literature about this field, identify substantial amount of such research being conducted by a wide range of authors and reported through more than 100 scholarly journals during that period. Findings also reveal the breadth of journal literature being identified through efforts of the Agricultural Communications Documentation Center. Authors call for more collaborative research efforts.

Case study involving a Cornell University natural resource professor who has combined scholarly inquiry with strong engagement with public interests and issues. Authors note barriers to the craft of public scholarship in this full sense and urge support needed to enable it.
James F. Evans Collection, Research directors at American land-grant universities are optimistic regarding the future of agricultural biotechnology and expect the ongoing "biotechnology revolution" to benefit the public, including consumers and farmers. Unresolved public policy questions involving biotechnology do concern many of the research administrators who responded to an opinion poll, but the prevailing attitude appears to be on of confident expectation that solutions will in time emerge for all outstanding biotech problems. Asked about "biotechnology's ethical questions," a majority of the respondents that U.S. land-grant institutions are well equipped to deal with such questions. The respondents said biotechnology may pose environmental risks, but they did not expect biological catastrophes to occur. They said biotechnology could be used to foster low-input methods of agricultural production, and they were in favor of pursuing biotech research that might improve agriculture's sustainability.
