2013 SEARCA Agriculture and Development Seminar Series (ADSS)
The SEARCA Agriculture and Development Seminar Series (ADSS) encourages the presentation and discussion of development and research issues, as well as their implications for sustainable transformation of Southeast Asian agricultural systems through innovation. It aims to contribute to a vibrant scientific exchange within and beyond the Los Baños Science Community.
Interested in ADSS?
SEARCA is keen to partner with government institutions, corporations, universities, civic organizations and individuals who see the potential in ADSS. We invite those interested to explore options such as hosting a session or series, serving as a resource speaker, or to simply suggesting the next ADSS topic.
