The Washington Post quoted CFAES’s Rattan Lal last week in a story about the World Food Prize event in Iowa. Controversy came up at the event about both genetically modified crops and climate change. “Agriculture has to be on any agenda for climate change mitigation in addition to improving water quality and of course food security,” Lal said in the story. He’s a Distinguished University Professor of Soil Science in the School of Environment and Natural Resources and the director of CFAES’s Carbon Management and Sequestration Center.
