Abstract	This report outlines the activities of the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD), Iowa State University, for the year ending June 30, 1986. Progress was made in expanding and enhancing the policy research program, which comprises four divisions. The natural resources and conservation program participated with the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture in a study completed during 1985-86 which culminated six years of redesigning a natural resource modeling system for analyzing agricultural production patterns and soil erosion in the United States. The trade and agricultural policy division (with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute) supplied analyses related to the 1985 Farm Bill to Congress, the Administration and other participants in the legislative process. The food and nutrition division analyzed demand systems estimated for Indonesia, to provide a basis for integrating food and agricultural policy. A similar project was undertaken for Zambia emphasizing Zambia's agricultural pricing and attendant foreign exchange implications. The rural and economic development division studied the implications of changes in agriculture on the economic activity of related industries. CARD supported 38 students in the graduate economics department at Iowa State University. Also included in the report are an operating budget, lists of contracts and grant projects, a list of publications (both internal and external), and information about the CARD's administrative structure and staff.
