APPENDIX B
Workshop Participants October 1–2, 1990 Irvine, CA

The committee's members wish to extend their sincere appreciation to all the people who shared their expertise and experience with us during the preparation of this report. Our special thanks go to the people who participated in the October 1990 information gathering workshop. The workshop gave the committee access to a broad range of ideas, and set the stage for the themes developed in this document. In the end, however, the committee claims sole responsibility for the content and recommendations of this report.

How can high-growth areas such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America sustain agricultural production for current and future generations? Toward Sustainability explores research priorities to support sustainable agriculture. The book identifies six areas that could offer great rewards: addressing institutional constraints on resource conservation, enhancing soil biological processes, managing soil properties, improving water resource management, matching crops to environments, and effectively incorporating social and cultural dimensions into research.

Also highlighted is the importance of developing collaborative, integrated research strategies and flexible mechanisms to periodically evaluate and reassess research priorities.
