This talk is a excellent survey of current sustainable techniques and technologies and how they can be integrated into conventional farms and research institutions. D.Kovacic (Dept. of Landscape Architecture) received funding from the Environmental Council and Facilities & Services to conduct the workshop class through a "Creating a More Sustainable Campus Grant."

Soybeans and cotton genetically engineered with herbicide-tolerant traits have been the most widely and rapidly adopted GE crops in the U.S., followed by insect-resistant cotton and corn. This data product summarizes the extent of adoption of herbicide-tolerant and insect–resistant crops since their introduction in 1996. Three tables devoted to corn, cotton, and soybeans cover the 2000-09 period by State. See more on the extent of adoption...
