markets, and provide an opportunity for faculty, staff and students at
the U of I to deepen their understanding of world food and sustainable
development issues.
The title and theme of the 1999 program is Agriculture's Changing Role in
the Global Ecosystem. Three keynote speakers will be brought to the

variety of settings, over the course of three weeks in late January and
