Building a prosperous future in which agriculture uses and produces energy efficiently and effectively

Author
Fischer, James R.
Abstract
Our new challenge, opportunity, and responsibility, is energy. The USDA is determined to apply the talent and technology of agriculture to bioenergy, and others should make a point of directing their energies to support this. The road forward toward our energy future is Science and Education. This is how we can move beyond a petroleum economy to make oil dependence a thing of the past, and safeguard our environment for future generations. The USDA has started the process of getting researchers together for a large, long-term cooperative effort. We all must take actions to make sure lab results get moved toward the market, with technology transfer partnerships with industry or university spin-off startups
