Asian liaisons
Dr. Manuel Reyes’ agroforestry and sustainable vegetable production research project which is part of the Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Collaborative Research Support Program (SANREM CRSP) is now also part of a clickable map of the world, which locates SANREM CRSP projects and (with one more click) provides project overviews and updates. To check up on Reyes’ project, start in Asia, where site locators in the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia are pipelines to additional information on “Agroforestry and Sustainable Vegetable Production in Southeast Asian Watersheds.”
The SANREM CRSP site also has news of local interest about a Soil Quality Workshop, in early June, at Nong Lam University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, that was conducted by Drs. G. B. Reddy and Charles Raczkowski of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design. And the current issue of the online newsletter notes that Theo Dillaha, the SANREM CRSP program director teamed up with Alton Thompson, SAES dean and chair of the SANREM CRSP board, to meet with faculty and sign a memorandum of understanding at Nong Lam University in Vietnam.”
Sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development's Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade Bureau, SANREM CRSP supports research in developing countries into environmentally sound and economically sustainable agriculture practices. Virginia Tech’s Office of International Research, Education, and Development manages the project.
