A&M to host global conference
by Bonnie Langford
Battalion Staff
More than 70 specialists from
around the world have been in
vited to come to Texas A&M in
June 1985 for the International
Conference on Water and Food.
International and local en
gineers, policy makers, food
producers and meteorologists
are scheduled to attend the con
ference to discuss problems on a
global scale.
' Dr. Bill Stouts, program
chairman, said:
“We want to plan action by
involving the decision makers.
Hopefully, we will stimulate
some projects, and change food
and water policies as they relate
to the world food supply.”
Special Projects Coordinator
Jack Cross said the idea came
from President Frank E. Van
diver, who he said believes prob
lems like world hunger can and
should be solved by a network of
universities.
Texas A&M is a natural
school to have a leadership role
in this network because of its his
tory of helping with agricultural
problems, he said.
A major international confer
ence like this also will help the
world become more aware of
Texas A&M, Cross said.
Nobel laureate Norman Bor-
laug, who is joining the Texas
A&M faculty, has been invited to
serve on the conference’s advis
ory committee. Committee
members will give presentations
on their studies, problems and
observations in food production
and water.
