Industry also faces challenges.
As environmental awareness increases, manufacturing products that work is not enough. We work with the private sector to develop environmentally friendly products and technologies, using raw materials produced in agriculture. Building on our history of innovation and cooperation with a wide array of corporate, government, and non-profit organizations, the IAPC is positioned to take our programs to the next level. Short and long-term plans for the years 2001 through 2010 have been outlined and approved for implementation. Acting within this future-oriented vision, the Center will focus on exploiting the potential of our country's biological resources.
