The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
Graphical Displays Should :
show the data
tell the truth
help the viewer think about the information rather than the design
encourage the eye to compare the data
make large data sets coherent
Clarity in Technical Reporting(NASA 1964)

WHO OWNS AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHWhile public entities control many enabling technologies for agricultural biotech, a handful of private companies owns three-quarters of US patents, including the most relevant genes.
About 10,000 years ago, probably in what is now Turkey,some proto-agronomy genius got sick of hunting and gathering and decided to grow food instead. Too bad that guy didn’t get a business method patent. But it didn’t takelong for farmers who raised better animals or developedhardier seeds to learn they could charge more, an ideaformalized in the last two centuries with proprietary rightsassigned to breeds and strains. Today, agriculture is steeped in intellectual property: Plants come with license agreements,farmers can’t sow seeds from last year’s crops without fear
Genetically modified crops offer many benefits – but carry theadded burdens of patent-protected agriculture. So farmers whoplant GM in developing nations also reap a bumper crop oflicensing agreements.
The boom in biotechnology in the 1980s came with a relatedblossoming of patents, especially in the US.
GM MOVES TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD
THE RISE OF AG PATENTS
The total supply of cropland worldwide is holding steady at nearly700 million acres. More and more of those crops are geneticallymodified – which means they’re grown on intellectual property.

Design Project Harper’s Index
1. select one or two of the facts on this month’s Index
2. create a graphic interpretation of the information
3. adhere to Tufte’s principles of graphical display
{show the data, tell the truth, help the viewer think about the information rather than the design, encourage the eye to compare the data, make large data sets coherent}
Amount that a Colorado state prisoner is paid to work a day as a field hand at a local farm: 60¢
Amount the prisons are paid by farmers for each inmate's daily work: $77.20
Percentage of West Virginia public schools that will use the video game Dance Dance Revolution in P.E. classes next year: 100
Percentage change in the number of Louisiana and Mississippi newborns named Katrina in the year after the hurricane: +153
