Experts Call for New Program of Long-Term Ag Research

Long-term agricultural research is key to meeting U.S. demands for the three “Fs” — food, fuel and fiber — according to a USDA-led investigation that includes a UC Davis faculty member.

The study calls for the creation of a national Long-Term Agricultural Research (LTAR) program that includes growers, conservationists and other interested parties. Titled “Long-term Agricultural Research: A Research, Education, and Extension Imperative,” it is published in the current edition of the peer-reviewed journal BioScience.
