Fall, 1990 (v3n1)
Three policy studies from
the UC Agricultural Issues Center are now available. The Center was established
in 1985 at the UC Davis campus as a forum for policy issues affecting
California and the West.
Publications include:
- Chemicals in the Human Food Chain, a book based on the Center's 1987-88 major study project on sources of chemicals in food. It may be ordered from Van Nostrand Reinhold, P.O. Box 668, Florence, KY 41042-9979, for $38.95. It evaluates the sources of both natural and artificial toxins in foods and covers pesticide use, animal production, food additives, industrial and environmental contaminants, organic and inorganic chemicals, and plant and microbial toxins.
- Proceedings from two symposia on the Center's 1988-90 major study project California's Great Central Valley- Confluence of Change. More than 70 university researchers and outside experts contributed to this study, which culminated in two 1990 symposia.
