Agricultural Economics in the Decade Ahead

Author

  • R. G. Bressler

Abstract

In this article the author outlines the challenges and opportunities facing agricultural economists in the next 10 years. He first specifies the scope of the field of agricultural economics, then presents data on the distribution of experiment station and USDA research among 12 subfields within agricultural economics. This is followed by suggested five-year increases in agricultural economics research in the USDA; these increases are based on discussions of the Committee on Agricultural Sciences and of USDA agencies. The author expresses the belief that too much of our research in the past has been of a nonadditive nature. For the decade ahead, he presents a plea for us to visualize and plan research so that the various components can in fact be joined together into useful analyses of complex problems.
