Regarding the sidebar article entitled “Universities
lag on organics” (HCN, 12/26/05: Universities lag on organics): I
am a professor of soil science at Colorado State University, and,
of course, it’s true that organic agriculture research is
limited at land-grant universities, primarily due to funding
limitations. But we are putting together a new interdisciplinary
program in organic agriculture for undergraduates at CSU. The
program, which includes eight new courses, is scheduled to start
fall semester 2006. For information, contact me at
Jessica.Davis@colostate.edu.
