In the preparation of this report, four considerations were kept in mind: (1) How are agriculture and forestry adversely affected by wastes? (2) What wastes are contributed by agriculture and forestry? (3) How has research in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural experiment stations contributed to the amelioration of waste problems? (4) What problems in waste production and management continue to need attention by agriculture and forestry? Commentary on these four considerations comprises the corresponding four appendices to the report per se.
