The mission of
the Agriculture and Rangeland Global Change program is to develop and
provide adaptation, mitigation, and management strategies to the individual
farm, ranch, and rural community, and to natural resource decision-makers to
allow them to derive optimal benefit from the positive aspects of global
change and deal effectively with the detrimental effects.

USDA has brought
together agricultural and forestry leaders from industry, academia, state
governments, and the federal government to assess the methyl bromide
problem, formulate priorities, and implement research. The Agricultural
Research Service (ARS) leads this process and has increased its own research
on finding alternatives to methyl bromide by redirecting funds from other
programs and undertaking new research projects funded by additional
Congressional appropriations.

The USDA UV-B
Monitoring and Research Program is a program of the US Department of
Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES).
The program was initiated in 1992, through a grant to Colorado State
University, to provide information on the geographical distribution and
temporal trends of UVB (ultraviolet -B) radiation in the United States. This
information is critical to the assessment of the potential impacts of
increasing ultraviolet radiation levels on agricultural crops and forests.
