2019 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.
