5 iotechnology g Mag - Reading Passage Science in Your Shopping art y the U.S. epartment of griculture bundant, affordable, vast variety it s the merican way when it comes to groceries. long with the low cost of food, there are new products every year, offering more convenience, longer shelf life, better nutrition, new flavors, and sometimes even a whole new idea that no one has brought to consumers before. This abundance comes from agriculture farmers and ranchers who produce a bounty of food and agricultural commodities from which industry creates a virtually endless list of products for consumers. Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, insect controls, alternative fuels, and leather, not to mention a proverbial cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, meats, and fish all come to stores near you by way of one of the greatest agriculture systems in the world. Supporting the continuing success of U.S. griculture is the progress that agriculture research provides much of it from the laboratories of the gricultural Research Service, the U.S. epartment of griculture s chief inhouse research agency. Without RS research, wheat yields would not have doubled and milk productions per cow tripled in the past 50 years; you d be paying much more for food than you do today, and your choices would be far more limited. esides the traditional farming and ranching products like food and clothing, RS research has brought you many everyday items that you may not connect with agriculture, like permanent press cotton and EET mosquito repellants. gricultural research, like all science, is a continuum, a spiral that builds on its past. scientific discovery can end up creating a new product for you to use and enjoy, which is then superseded by an improved version, which scientists then go on to improve in another way. Research never stands still. That means the examples we ve given here are a snapshot of how RS and agriculture have contributed to making your life better. So, the next time you forage down a grocery store aisle, give some thought to all the scientific accomplishment that has gone into those products you are putting in your shopping cart.
