Conference ·
OSTI ID:6645982
The conference brought together a broad spectrum of researchers concerned with obtaining a better understanding of energy consumption by agriculture and with developing ways to help food production adapt to present and anticipated resource availability problems. Three papers were included on energy use in agriculture (statewide and national analyses); five were concerned with crop production; eight with irrigation; thirteen with tillage; and five with livestock production. There were seven papers on non-depletable energy sources followed by seven on agriculture in developing countries (mainly India). The last section entitled: Implications of Energy Problems for U.S. Agricultural Policy, contains four presentations. (MCW)
