Fuel and food are becoming increasingly important topics around the globe as the price of commidities such as corn and crude oil soar and, in turn, impact the price consumers pay for food. As powerful economies emerge in Asia and other parts of the world, the next generation of agricultural leaders has already been charged with overcoming the challenges of providing food and fuel for a growing population and industrialized planet. Alpha Zeta student members, alumni and other agricultural professionals will discuss food and fuel during the National Agricultural Leadership Conference and 51st Biennial Conclave, March 26-28, 2009, in Raleigh, N.C. The conference will also focus on chapter and professional development with an emphasis on service leadership.
