<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>In
the 17<sup>th</sup> century, philosophers debated whether scientific inquiry should
be based on a reductionist approach, in which complex processes and systems are
viewed as the sum of their parts, or on a systems approach, in which all the
components of processes and systems are studied in relation to each
other. For over 300 years, the reductionist approach dominated with
remarkable results. With our current ability to manage large and complex
data sets, there is renewed interest in adapting a systems science approach to
modern challenges in agricultural and food science to uncover solutions at the
speed of modern life. The Sustainable Agriculture and Education program
(SARE), the Integrated Organic Program (IOP) and the Specialty Crop Research
Initiative (SCRI) within the National Institute of Food and Agriculture require
that applicants use a systems approach to meet challenges faced by producers
and consumers. The directors of these programs, in partnership with
Cornell University, are offering a one-day, national workshop on the
preparation and management of competitively awarded, systems-based grant
applications. Information for the workshop and registration information
can be found at the following link:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
