Not yet that I know. The scientific community is just kick starting on this. One reason they haven't moved much (I'm speculating here) being that agriculture teachers are now bundled together with environmental and they need to be politically correct to keep their jobs and to get funding,

See anti-ethanol David Piementel idea:
Modern agricultural methods, from pesticide and antibiotic use to fossil fuel consumption, are contributing to land degradation and pollution as well as to the emergence and re-emergence of human pathogens.
