Presentations are available for download at: http://www.berkeleybioeconomy.com/presentations-2/2011-presentations The panel discussion on strengthening African agricultural science and technology policy included discussion of establishing endowed chairs of bioscience policy focused on agriculture at African Universities in economics and agricultural economics with money for research, graduate students and links to NC1034 and International Consortium for Applied Bioeconomy Research (ICABR) networks. It also considered possibilities of seeking out funding sources to increase opportunities for agricultural PhD students and post-doctoral scholars working on African agricultural development issues. The annual business meeting was held on Saturday, March 26, from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Termination report: Committee president, George Frisvold (Arizona) informed the group that next year materials would be needed to write the committee termination report. The termination report differs from annual report in that it should discuss cumulative activities, accomplishments, and impacts of the committee over past 5 years. New NIFA rep: Robbin Shoemaker will be NC-1034's new NIFA rep. The group noted appreciation for Henry Bahn's support and assistance as past rep and welcomed Robbin's involvement as he is familiar with the group's research and has published in areas directly related to the committee's charge. Theme and venue of next meeting / conference: Because the old farm bill is expiring and a new farm bill will be drafted next year, several members suggested that the theme of next year's conference should be to inform the research title of the next farm bill. Frisvold conveyed to the group that Robbin Shoemaker was willing to explore the possibility of having next year's meetings at the NIFA offices in Washington, DC. This would facilitate participation of policymakers. Other suggestions included: * Invite congressional committee staff economists as speakers * Coordinate with groups such as the Farm Foundation and C-FARE to increase the impact of presentations * Have the first day of the conference focus on less technical policy presentations for policy makers. This would require presentations that were structured differently than typical academic seminars. Wally Huffman distributed to the group the copies of the report Investing in a Better Future through Public Agricultural Research ( http://www.econ.iastate.edu/sites/default/files /castagresearchfinal_qta2011-11.pdf ) published by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) as CAST Commentary QTA2011-1. The report was co-authored by Huffman, NC-1034 member George Norton (Virginia Tech) and Luther Tweeten (Ohio State). The report is a good example of the type of material that would be appropriate for presentation to policy makers. * Have the meetings over Friday/ Saturday (rather than Thursday / Friday). Because of teaching commitments it is more difficult for faculty to attend on Thursdays. This may require that meetings be held at NIFA on Friday, but a different site on Saturday. This has been done in the past when meetings have been in Washington. Planning committee: George Frisvold (Arizona), Gregory Graff (Colorado State), and Sun Ling Wang (USDA, ERS) agreed to serve on the meeting planning committee. It was also suggested we attempt to enlist Richard Just (Maryland) and Vince Smith (Montana State). Officers: George Frisvold (Arizona) was elected president Gregory Graff (Colorado State) was elected secretary The group heartily thanked David Zilberman for all the work involved in hosting this year's conference. Meeting Adjourned.

Short-term Outcomes: Methods developed by NC-1034 members to evaluate the economic impacts and returns to agricultural research have been widely adopted by USDA agencies, scholars at land-grant institutions, the World Bank, and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. Assessments of economic impacts of new technologies have been widely cited in government and National Academy reports on the benefits and costs of biotechnologies and on agricultural sustainability. Outputs: Outputs this year included more than 70 publications. Activities: NC-1034 members and international cooperators organized and participated in the 14th International Consortium on Applied Bioeconomy Research (ICABR) Conference in Ravello, Italy, June 16-18, 2010 with the theme Bioeconomy Governance: Policy, Environmental and Health Regulation, and Public Investments in Research. NC-1034 member publications were included in a resulting special issue of the journal AgBioForum (see Milestones) NC-1034 members and cooperators organized and participated in the Third Berkeley Conference on the Bioeconomy The Current Situation of Biofuel: Economics, Policy, Technology, and Research held June 24-25, 2010 on the campus of the University of California. Milestones: A large body of NC-1034 research has been published together in books, edited volumes and a special journal issue. Combining research outputs in special volumes and journal issues allows complementary research of NC-1034 members to be presented together. Examples include the following. The book Persistence Pays: U.S. Agricultural Productivity Growth and the Benefits from Public R&D Spending (Springer, 2010) was co-authored by three NC-1034 members (and one collaborator) and is based in part on research presented at earlier NC-1034 meetings. The edited volume The Economic Impact of Public Support to Agriculture: An International Perspective (Springer, 2010) was edited and features contributions of one NC-1034 member with multiple collaborators. The edited volume Handbook of Bioenergy Economics and Policy (Springer, 2010) was co-edited by one NC-1034 member and contains chapters by two NC-1034 members, several collaborators, and several graduate students conducting doctoral research on NC-1034-related projects. The volume The Shifting Patterns of Agricultural Production and Productivity Worldwide (Midwest Agribusiness Trade Research and Information Center and Iowa State University, 2010) was edited by two NC-1034 members and a collaborator and features research presented at earlier NC-1034 meetings. Papers revised and accepted based on peer review from the 2010 International Consortium on Applied Bioeconomy Research (ICABR) Conference have been published in a special issue of AgBioForum (volume 13, number 4). This special issue included publications by NC-1034 members and international collaborators. Earlier versions of these papers were presented at the annual meeting of International Consortium for Agricultural Biotechnology Research, which was organized by NC-1034 members and European collaborators. Impacts Two books that were the product (in part) of NC-1034 activities and research collaboration received a number of prestigious professional awards for excellence. The book Alston, J.M., M.A. Andersen, J.S. James, and P.G. Pardey. (2010) Persistence Pays: U.S. Agricultural Productivity Growth and the Benefits from Public R&D Spending. New York: Springer has received the following awards * The Quality of Research Discovery Award from the Australian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society * The Outstanding Published Research Award from the Western Agricultural Economics Association * The Quality of Research Discovery Award from the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - the largest and most prestigious organization in agricultural and natural resource economics. The Australian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society gave its annual Quality of Communication Award to the book Alston, J.M., B.A. Babcock and P.G. Pardey, eds. (2010). The Shifting Patterns of Agricultural Production and Productivity Worldwide. Ames, IA: Midwest Agribusiness Trade Research and Information Center and Iowa State University. A stated objective of NC-1034 was that project participants would continue to be directly involved in National Research Council (NRC) publications and to be sources of key cited references. The goal of the NRC is to improve government decision making and public policy, increase public understanding, and promote the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge in matters involving science, engineering, technology, and health. The Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources (BANR) is the major program unit of the National Research Council responsible for organizing and overseeing studies on agriculture, forestry, fisheries, wildlife, and the use of land, water, and other natural resources. NC-1034 members made important contributions to two major NRC publications in 2010. The report The Impact of Genetically Engineered Crops on Farm Sustainability in the United States Research (2010, National Academies Press) relied extensively on research findings of NC-1034 members, citing more than 30 papers by members. The report Toward Sustainable Agricultural Systems in the 21st Century (2010,) National Academies Press cited 25 papers by NC-1034 members.
