An internationally-oriente- d Agriculture and Food Institute has been organized at Brigham Young University. The Institute was named in honor of President Ezra Taft Benson, Council of the Twelve, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. The Institute will pull together research expertise to meet the food needs of developing nations as well as improvements in American agricultural methods. Dr. Lowell Wood, a BYU agricultural faculty member, has been appointed director of the Institute. The institute will operate within the College of Biological and Agricultural Sciences. In his response to the honor, President Benson said, There is no more worthy pursuit, no more noble profession than the labor of one who provides food and clothing for his fellow man. President Benson said agriculture always has been, is today and always will be the basic industry. Many nations of the world look to America for a pattern in their struggle to feed their teeming populations. Too often we benevolent Americans have given them food instead of teaching them how to produce food. It is abundantly clear that a new approach is in order, he added. President Benson said the improved agricultural technology resulting from the Institutes efforts will be delivered to the worldwide Church membership through the Priesthood leadership channels of the LDS Church. He said BYUs more than 7,600 returned missionaries, many with bilin- - gual capability and registered in agri- culture, make the University uniquely qualified to perform this function.
