FAO to Host E-mail Conference on Biotech
March 6, 2009| |
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Biotechnology Forum will host an e-mail conference from April 20 to May 17,2009 on "Learning from the past: Successes and failures with agricultural biotechnologies in developing countries over the last 20 years". It aims to analyze past experiences of applying different agricultural biotechnologies in the crop, forestry, livestock, fisheries/aquaculture and agro-industry sectors in developing countries; document and discuss what has succeeded or failed; and determine and evaluate the key factors that were responsible for their success or failure.
To join the Forum (and also register for the conference), send an e-mail to mailserv@mailserv.fao.org leaving the subject blank and entering the following text on two lines: subscribe BIOTECH-L subscribe biotech-room4
