Regional Agricultural Systems - The Need for Basic Research


I notice several articles in today's WSJ that note the effect of rising fuel prices on various industries.

For example, Delta Airlines is cutting capacity because of fuel costs.

I continue to believe that regional agricultural systems in the face of mounting costs of transportation are an extremely important topic to study. Sadly, enough basic research does not exist on the topic, and efforts to create conditions for implementation are fractured.

It is my hope there will be more research in the area soon.
