Welcome to Tropical Agriculture and Forestry Workshop
We have been studying sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, and forest resource management in the tropics, Our Workshop aims to share and exchange information and experiences of appropriate technologies on agriculture and forestry with interdisciplinary participants, and improve our skills and practices, appropriate technologies, and extension services in the fields.
The workshop also aims to develop our self-learning, communication, and ability to take action.
