Bertrand said the study, the second in a series, was made in response to the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, which directs USDA to assess the need for research, extension, teaching and professional development in the food and agricultural sciences. The first study, issued in July 1980, reported on the need for graduates in agriculture, natural resources and veterinary medicine. Information on the supply of higher education graduates came mainly from surveys made by the National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education.
