Outlines or summaries of twelve speeches and related group discussions are presented from a meeting to identify future trends in sociology, economics, and education and to discuss these trends in light of future program purposes and direction of agriculture and agribusiness education. The forum was part of a larger project to develop principles and strategies for agriculture and agribusiness education in Iowa. Topics covered include agriculture and world food production, vocational and career decision making, labor, and other economic and social issues. On-farm and off-farm agricultural developments and directions are discussed individually as are educational, sociological, economic, ecological, and political trends. Implications are outlined for program restructuring, for curriculum, and for teaching approaches. (Complete texts of the speeches and panel discussions are also available--CE 013 247.) (JT)
