5 Primary research focus has been on the economics of crop production in Louisiana. The general objective of this research program is to conduct economic evaluations of physical, technological, economic, and political factors affecting crop production as a single enterprise, and the management of commercial farms, within a whole-farm context, in Louisiana. Recent research activities have expanded into the area of biofuels, focusing specifically on the economics of biofuel feedstock production, transportation and processing.

Importance of Ag. & Ag. Research
12 It is widely agreed that increased productivity is the main contributor to economic growth in U.S. agriculture. Total factor productivity measures changes in the efficiency with which inputs are transformed into outputs. Federal-State public research, as well as private-sector research, has been a key driver of ag. productivity growth. Studies have quantified the rate of return from ag. research in the 40-50% range. Ag. research provides benefits not only to the farm sector, but also to agribusinesses, rural communities and consumers. (2.) Importance of Ag. & Ag. Research Source: Economic Research Service, USDA

14 Agricultural research objectives: 1) Ensure food safety and health through agricultural and food systems 2) Provide the information and knowledge needed to further improve environmental stewardship 3) Improve the economic return to agricultural producers 4) Strengthen our communities and families 5) Develop new and more competitive crop production practices and products and new uses for diverse crops and novel plant species 6) Develop new and more competitive animal production practices and products and new uses for animals. 7) Lessen the risks of local and global climatic change on food, fiber, and fuel production (3.) Future Direction of Ag. Research
15 Food and agriculture research challenge areas: 1) Enhance the sustainability, competitiveness, and profitability of food and agriculture systems 2) Adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change on food, feed, fiber, and fuel systems 3) Support energy security and the development of the bioeconomy from renewable natural resources 4) Play a leadership role to ensure a safe, secure and abundant food supply for the U.S. and the world (3.) Future Direction of Ag. Research
16 Food and agriculture research challenge areas: 5) Improve human health, nutrition, and wellness of the population 6) Heighten environmental stewardship through the development of sustainable management practices 7) Strengthen individual, family and community development and resilience (3.)

20 Important issues in the formula vs. competitive fed. funding debate: 1) Who sets the research agenda? 2) How would changes affect the willingness of scientists to undertake longer-term research objectives? 3) Would changes affect the capacity of states to meet local and regional needs or to respond quickly to crises? 4) What is the relative cost of distributing the two types of funding? 5) Which states would be likely to gain or lose? 6) Would society gain or lose (research discovery risk)? 7) How would changes affect the sustainability of research funding? (3.) Future Direction of Ag. Research Wallace, et al., 2006
21 Fundamental forces shaping the competitive agribusiness landscape: 1) Value chain relationships are changing Input suppliers => Producers => Processors => Retailers => Consumers 2) Forces that shape the agribusiness industry: Rivalry among existing competitors Threat of new entrants Bargaining power of suppliers Bargaining power of buyers Threat of substitute products Changes in technology Internationalization of the value change 3) Increasing importance of the triple bottom line: Economically Viable, Environmentally Friendly, Socially Responsible (3.) Future Direction of Ag. Research Olson and Boehlje, 2010
22 (A.) Keys for Success (within the LAES/LSU AgCenter): 1) Hire and retain top quality faculty 2) Place faculty in a work environment which will afford them the best opportunity to be productive and successful 3) Encourage research collaboration across disciplines and units 4) Identify specific research objectives annually and revise as needed 5) Allocate research resources in an efficient manner using accurate information, i.e., weigh benefits and costs 6) Maintain frequent communication within the LAES and LSU AgCenter system regarding relevant issues impacting research 7) Make decisions based upon what is in the best interests of the overall mission of the LAES in consultation with appropriate parties (4.) Charting Future Course for LAES
23 (B.) Keys for Success (outside the LAES/LSU AgCenter): 1) Develop strong relationships with clientele/stakeholders 2) Improve clientele/stakeholder input opportunities into research planning and grant funding proposals 3) Find ways to be competitive in competitive grants 4) Grants and publications are a necessary means to a relevant end 5) Promote the impact and importance of LAES research to the general public beyond our immediate stakeholders 6) Take advantage of opportunities through technology, media and other avenues to explain the importance of agriculture in Louisiana and agricultural research at the LSU AgCenter (4.) Charting Future Course for LAES
24 Research Goals and Strategies: 1) Sustain healthy ecosystems and conserve our natural resources 2) Enhance competitiveness, prosperity, and sustainability of urban and rural agricultural industries 3) Improve public health and well-being 4) Mitigate negative effects of global climate change 5) Create and utilize fundamental information to optimize plant and animal production and human health (4.) Charting Future Course for LAES
25 Research Opportunities and Core Programs of the Future: 1) Sustainability 2) Energy 3) Climate change 4) Water 5) Food systems and food safety 6) Ecosystem health and services 7) Resource production (4.) Charting Future Course for LAES
26 The experiment station has a wide array of research resources or inputs for use in conducting research: Units - departments/branch stations Personnel faculty, research associates, other personnel Facilities labs, equipment, etc. Funds state, federal, grants, IP, etc. Each research resource is unique with distinct and different advantages and abilities To achieve success in meeting our research goals, it is necessary to: 1. Specifically identify our research goals on an ongoing basis 2. Identify the unique attributes and abilities of each resource 3. Allocate those scarce resources in an optimal manner to maximize research success (4.) Charting Future Course for LAES

28 My goals for La. Agricultural Experiment Station as Director would be: To ensure that the LAES continues to play a major role in enhancing the quality of life of Louisiana citizens through basic and applied research, outreach and education To meet both the short-term and long-run needs of our state clientele and stakeholders through research and outreach To increase the productiveness and prominence of our research at the state, regional and national level To increase the knowledge and understanding of the importance of agricultural research and how it impacts the daily lives of the general public in Louisiana beyond our immediate stakeholders (4.)
