to raising livestock
to managing soil and water resources
to the chemical analysis and genetic engineering of crops

to agribusiness and Wall Street
to the microanalysis and understanding of food nutrition
to new methods of food preservation,

to feeding the world's over seven billion people
while caring for the planet's delicate ecosystems.
