All participants are asked to make either an oral presentation or poster presentation about soil and water resources and cropping systems in their countries. Poster boards will be available at the University as well as slide projectors, overhead projectors, and computer projection equipment. These presentations will be beneficial in giving the participants a broad overview of worldwide agroecosystems and an opportunity to present some of their personal endeavors. Informal discussion sessions will be held each evening of the tour for further identification of application of basic principles and specific technologies. Particular emphasis will be given to applications in the participant's country.
Cost is based on double-occupancy housing.
